Remove PDF Metadata — Strip Hidden Data Free & Private

Remove PDF Metadata Online — Free & Private

Every PDF carries hidden metadata: the author’s name, the software that made it, creation and edit dates, and sometimes a full XMP record. Before you email or publish a document, that data can reveal more than you intend. AccuPDF inspects and strips this metadata entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

How to remove metadata from a PDF

  1. Drop your PDF into the tool. AccuPDF instantly reads and shows you the metadata it contains.
  2. Review the detected fields — title, author, producer, creation and modification dates, keywords.
  3. Click Remove Metadata & Download to get a cleaned copy with those fields cleared and the XMP block removed.

What metadata gets removed?

AccuPDF clears the document information dictionary (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation and modification dates) and removes the embedded XMP metadata stream. The visible page content is untouched.

Why it matters

Metadata is a common accidental data leak — documents shared publicly have exposed internal author names and software details for years. AccuPDF scrubs it privately on your device, so nothing sensitive travels to a server.
