About the PDF Metadata Viewer & Editor

PDF files carry document properties that search engines, document management systems and recipients can see — sometimes revealing an author's name or the software used. Inspect them here, then edit the title, author, subject and keywords and save a new copy.

Your PDF is processed in your browser with pdf-lib and never uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Drop a PDF to read its properties.
  2. Edit the fields in “Edit metadata” if needed.
  3. Download the PDF with updated metadata.

Good to know

  • XMP metadata streams written by some apps may still contain older values; this tool edits the standard document information dictionary.
  • Encrypted PDFs can be viewed but not edited.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PDF title matter for SEO?

Google may use the PDF title metadata as the search result title, so a descriptive title helps.

Can I remove the author name?

Yes, clear the Author field and save.
