Clean the metadata out of a PDF
See what the file says about you, then edit it — or strip everything.
Remove PDF Metadata now — free →Every PDF quietly carries information about its origin: a title, an author name, the application that created it. Before you share a document, Bindery shows you exactly what is recorded, lets you correct it, or removes all of it in one click — title, author, subject, keywords, and the creator/producer traces.
Metadata cleaning is the kind of job that should never involve uploading the very document you are trying to anonymize. Bindery runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing to delete from a server afterwards.
How it works
- Drop your PDF and open Clean metadata
- Review and edit the recorded fields — or hit “Strip everything”
- Download the cleaned copy
Questions people ask
What metadata does a PDF contain?
Typically a title, author, subject, keywords, and the names of the applications that created and produced the file — plus timestamps. Bindery shows all the standard fields before you change anything.
Does stripping metadata change how the PDF looks?
No. Pages, text and images are untouched — only the document information changes.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Reading, editing and stripping all happen in your browser.
