Private browser PDF editing

View and remove PDF metadata online.

Inspect hidden document properties, remove selected metadata or clear it all, and download a cleaned PDF privately in your browser.

How to remove PDF metadata

1. Choose a PDF from your device.
2. Review standard fields, custom properties, and embedded XMP metadata.
3. Select individual items or choose all detected metadata.
4. Create and download a cleaned copy locally.

Standard, custom, and XMP metadata

PDFMech can inspect common document properties, additional Info dictionary fields, and a separate embedded XMP packet.

Private metadata processing

Metadata inspection, removal, validation, and PDF export happen in your browser without uploading the source document.

Important privacy limit

Metadata cleanup does not remove visible text, annotations, attachments, form values, or other content inside PDF pages.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. PDFMech reads and removes supported metadata inside your browser.

Will removing metadata change my pages?

The tool preserves the PDF page count and does not intentionally rasterize or visibly edit page content.

Can I remove only the author or title?

Yes. You can select individual standard or custom fields and choose whether to remove the embedded XMP packet.

Does this remove every possible trace of personal information?

No. It removes supported document-info fields and XMP metadata, not visible text, annotations, attachments, form values, or other page content.
