What metadata is removed?

We remove all metadata including: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator software, Producer software, Creation date, Modification date, and other hidden information. With "Keep minimal info" enabled, only PDF version and page count are preserved.

Why should I remove metadata?

PDF metadata can reveal your identity, software used, when the document was created/edited, and other sensitive information. Removing metadata protects your privacy, helps with GDPR compliance, and prevents tracking when sharing documents.

Does this change the PDF content?

No! Only metadata (hidden information) is removed. All visible content - text, images, formatting, links - remains exactly the same. The PDF will look and function identically.

Can I process multiple PDFs at once?

Yes! You can process up to 20 PDFs simultaneously. All files will have their metadata removed and be packaged in a convenient ZIP file for download.
