What Is PDF Metadata?

PDF metadata is information stored inside a PDF document, such as its title, author, subject, keywords, creation date and the software used to create it. These properties may not be visible on the document pages, but they can be viewed by PDF readers and document management tools.

How to Edit PDF Metadata

Step 1. Select Your PDF

Choose a PDF file from your device. Convert2PDF reads its available document properties directly in your browser.

Step 2. Review and Edit

Change the title, author, subject or keywords. You can also clear individual fields or remove supported metadata.

Step 3. Save Your PDF

Save your changes and download the updated document.

Why Remove PDF Metadata?

PDF files can contain information about their authors, creation dates and the software used to produce them. Reviewing and removing unnecessary metadata can help reduce unintended disclosure when sharing documents online.

Removing metadata does not erase personal information that appears in the document itself.

Edit PDF Properties Without Uploading Files

Convert2PDF processes supported PDF metadata directly in your browser. Your document does not need to be uploaded to our servers to view, edit or remove its properties.
