Five tools, one workflow

🧹

Strip metadata

Remove author, title, producer, creation date, XMP, bookmarks, embedded files, and the document outline — anything that could identify the source.

🔍

View metadata

See every field in the /Info dictionary, the XMP stream, the outline tree, attached files, and form data — laid out cleanly, not buried in a PDF reader's preferences.

✏️

Edit metadata

Change Author, Title, Subject, Keywords, Producer, or Creation Date and save. Useful for compliance, white-labeling, or fixing wrong defaults from your PDF generator.

🛡️

Audit for redaction leaks

Was your "redacted" PDF actually redacted? We check for selectable text under black bars, leftover bookmark titles, XMP residue, embedded source files, and seven other failure modes.

🕵️

Unredact bad redactions

If text was just covered with a black rectangle, we extract what's underneath — so you can see what a journalist or opposing counsel would see if you shipped the file.

🔒

Files stay on your device

All five tools run on your computer. No upload. No account. Disconnect from Wi-Fi after the page loads — it still works.

FAQ

Do you upload my PDFs?

No. Every operation runs in your browser. You can verify by disconnecting from Wi-Fi after the page loads — the tool keeps working.

What metadata can you remove from a PDF?

Author, Title, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, CreationDate, ModDate (the /Info dictionary); the XMP metadata stream; document outline / bookmarks; embedded files and file attachments; optional content group names; and form field data. You pick which to remove.

Does it work on Word documents?

Yes — drop a .docx and the tool reads the same way: core/app/custom properties, tracked changes, comments, hidden text runs, and embedded objects. Strip them all in one click.

What does "audit for redaction leaks" mean?

Most "redacted" PDFs aren't actually redacted — someone drew a black rectangle on top and the text underneath is still selectable. The audit mode finds every case of that, plus seven other ways redactions leak (bookmark titles, embedded files, XMP residue, etc.).

Why would I use "unredact" mode on my own document?

To see what a journalist, opposing counsel, or court clerk would see if you released the file. It's a verification step before you ship. We don't recommend using it on other people's documents.

What's the file size limit?

Your browser's memory. Most desktops handle 200+ MB PDFs without issue; mobile is more limited. We don't cap.

Turn off your Wi-Fi. It still works.

That's how you know nothing ever leaves your device.

Smallpdf, Sejda, online metadata strippers — every one of them asks you to upload the very document whose author info you're trying to hide. We don't. Strip metadata locally in your browser, then disconnect to prove it. Run the test yourself.
