PDF Metadata Editor

What Is PDF Metadata?

Every PDF file has a metadata dictionary that stores information about the document: title, author, subject, keywords, the application that created it, and the creation/modification dates. This information is what search engines, document management systems, and reading apps display when listing your PDF.

How to Use This Tool

1. Upload your PDF.
2. The tool reads the current metadata and shows it in editable fields.
3. Edit any field — title, author, subject, keywords.
4. Click "Save Metadata" and download the updated PDF.

All changes are applied locally; the file never leaves your browser.

Why Edit PDF Metadata?

• Privacy: scanners and word processors often leave behind your username, computer name, or original document path. Editing metadata is the easiest way to scrub identifying info before sharing.
• SEO and discoverability: search engines index PDF metadata. Setting a clear title and keywords makes your document easier to find.
• Organization: a meaningful title makes the PDF show correctly in document managers and reading apps instead of "Document1.pdf".

Tips

• Leaving a field blank clears that metadata entry.
• The producer and creator fields are technical labels — most users only need to edit title, author, subject and keywords.
• This tool does not edit the actual page content — only the metadata header.
