Share Without Leaking Details

Documents quietly carry metadata that can reveal your name, your organisation, the software you use and when a file was made. Before sending a CV, a bid, a legal document or anything sensitive, stripping that metadata removes a layer of information you may not want the recipient — or anyone the file is forwarded to — to have.

This tool clears the title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer fields, leaving the page content untouched.

Cleaned Privately

The metadata is removed on your device with pdf-lib — fitting for exactly the private files you would clean. Nothing is uploaded.
