View and edit a PDF's title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates, or strip all metadata (including XMP) before you share the file. Runs in your browser.
Works in your browser. What you paste or upload is processed on your device.
Choose or drop the PDF. Its current metadata appears in the form.
Pick Edit metadata to change fields, or Remove all metadata to strip everything.
Type a new title, author, keywords or dates. Changed fields are marked.
Press the save button to download the updated copy.
Every PDF carries a small block of document information: title, author, subject, keywords, the creator application, the producer library, and the creation and modification dates. Many PDFs also hold a second, XML copy of the same data (XMP metadata). This editor reads all of it in your browser and shows it in a form you can change.
Edit any field and save a copy, or empty a field to remove it. Dates use your local time and have a Now button. If the file has an XMP block, the tool can remove it as well, because some readers such as Acrobat show the XMP values instead of the ones you just edited. The Remove all metadata option strips every field and the XMP block in one go, which is useful before you send a document outside your organisation.
What it doesn't touch: page content, bookmarks, links and form fields stay as they are. Metadata inside embedded images (such as camera EXIF data) is not changed; use an EXIF remover on images before you put them in a PDF.
The PDF title is what browsers show in the tab and what search engines may show as the result title, so an untitled or "Microsoft Word - Document1" PDF looks careless. Author and creator fields can also leak names, user accounts and software you didn't mean to share. Checking and cleaning them takes a minute.

Open the PDF here, type the new title in the Title field and save. The title is what browsers show in the tab and what many readers show instead of the file name. Renaming the file doesn't change it.
Acrobat prefers the XMP metadata block when a PDF has one. Keep "Also remove the XMP metadata block" ticked so your edits show everywhere.
Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, both dates and the XMP block. The pages, links, bookmarks and form fields are not changed.
No. The metadata is read and written in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
Yes. It works in Safari on iPhone and iPad and in Chrome on Android, with the phone's own date picker for the date fields.
The title field can be used by search engines as the result title for a PDF, so a clear, descriptive title helps people recognise the document. Keywords metadata is not used for ranking by Google.
