Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata does a PDF contain?

PDFs can store metadata including: author name, title, subject, keywords, creation date, modification date, the software used to create it, and sometimes the operating system and username. This information can reveal who created the document and when.

Why should I remove PDF metadata?

PDF metadata can reveal personal information like your name, organization, software used, and dates. Removing metadata before sharing documents protects your privacy and reduces the risk of information leakage.

Does removing metadata change the visible content?

No. Removing metadata only strips the hidden information properties. All visible content — text, images, formatting — remains completely unchanged.

Can I edit specific metadata fields?

Currently, the tool supports viewing all metadata and one-click removal of all metadata. Editing individual fields (like changing the author name) may be added in a future update.
