Frequently Asked Questions

Does removing metadata change the PDF content?
No. Only the invisible metadata is removed. All text, images, formatting, and content remain exactly the same.
Why would I need to remove PDF metadata?
Before sharing a PDF publicly or with a client, removing metadata ensures you don't accidentally reveal your name, organization, editing history, or the software you use.
Is the process reversible?
No — metadata removal is permanent. Always keep a copy of your original file before cleaning.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
Never. All processing happens in your browser using PDF.js and pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device.
