Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata is removed?

All standard PDF metadata fields are cleared: title, author, subject, keywords, producer (the software that created the PDF), and creator. The document content is not affected.

Is this the same as redacting?

No. Metadata removal only clears the document properties (title, author, etc.). Redacting removes visible content from pages. Use our Redact tool to remove sensitive text or images from the document itself.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your document never leaves your device, ensuring maximum privacy.

Can I undo metadata removal?

The original metadata cannot be recovered after removal. Keep a backup of your original file if you might need the metadata later.
