Edit PDF Metadata Without Uploading — Strip Author & Dates
Drop a PDF to see its metadata, edit or strip any field, and download a clean copy — processed locally. Critical when sharing documents externally: PDF metadata routinely leaks author names, software, and timestamps that can identify the original creator. Nothing is uploaded.

Every claim on this page is auditable in 30 seconds:
- Open browser DevTools (F12 or Cmd+Opt+I).
- Switch to the Network tab and tick Preserve log.
- Run the tool with your file.
- You'll see requests for the page, library code, and ad pixels — never for your PDF.
Even better: load the page, then turn off Wi-Fi. The tool still works, because there's nowhere for the file to go.
FAQ
Why strip dates?
PDF metadata often includes when a file was created or last modified, which can leak info you'd rather not share (e.g. that you backdated a document).
Can I edit XMP metadata?
Not yet — this tool edits the standard Document Info dictionary. XMP support is planned.
