Remove metadata

PDFs quietly carry the author's name, software versions and edit dates. This strips the document information and the hidden XMP metadata before you share the file. Note: this does not remove text from pages — the desktop app's verified Redact does that.

This tool runs entirely in your browser — the file is never uploaded. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.

The PDF Toolbox desktop app compresses, redacts with verified removal, OCRs scans, repairs damaged files, converts to PDF/A and handles 500-page documents — all offline, on your machine, with the same promise: nothing ever leaves it.
