PDFs can leak more than you expect. Hidden properties like author, title, keywords, creator, and producer may reveal internal details. Here’s the simplest way to clear them before sharing.

Quick Steps

Open MetaRemoval.
Upload your PDF.
Wait a moment while metadata is removed locally.
Download the cleaned PDF.

Note: Encrypted or password-protected PDFs may not be editable without the password. MetaRemoval will mark them as “Protected”.

Best Practices

Keep an original copy for your records.
After cleaning, open File → Properties in your PDF viewer to confirm fields are blank.
If the file is protected, export a new, unprotected version first (if you have rights and password), then clean.
