Edit metadata

Every PDF carries a title, an author, the software that made it and the times it was written. Often that is a name, a licence key or a file path you had no intention of sharing. Read it here, edit what you want to keep, and strip the rest.

Questions people actually ask

Does this remove everything identifying?

It clears the document information and XMP metadata. It cannot remove things embedded in the content itself — a name typed on the page, or a photo carrying its own EXIF data inside an image.

Do you keep a copy of my file?

No. Edit metadata runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API — the bytes of your document never travel to us. The only thing that reaches our servers is a counter incrementing by one, and whatever you deliberately choose to save to your library.

Is Edit metadata free?

Not this one. Edit metadata is part of Baker, at $10 a month — along with the other conversion, compression and security tools, and the AI ones. Signing, editing, watermarking, merging, splitting, rotating, organising and cropping are free, three documents a day up to ten pages each, with no account.
