To view and edit a PDF’s metadata for free, upload your PDF above. Its full document properties — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, PDF version, creation and modified dates, page count, page size, encryption status, tagged and linearized status — display immediately. Editable fields (title, author, subject, keywords) pre-fill with their current values so you can change any of them, or remove them all, then download the updated PDF. No sign-up, no email, and no watermark, and your file is processed on the server and never stored.

View & edit PDF metadata — free online PDF properties tool

Need to check or clean up a PDF’s document properties? Our free PDF metadata viewer and editor first shows you everything already set on your file — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, PDF version, dates, page count, page size, and more — then lets you change the title, author, subject, and keywords and hands back an updated PDF in seconds, right in your browser. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no watermark added.

Check a PDF’s metadata before you rely on it

Before you change anything, this tool shows you exactly what is already there: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, PDF version, creation and modified dates, page count, page size, encryption status, whether the PDF is tagged, and whether it is linearized for fast web viewing. It is a genuine PDF metadata checker — useful on its own when you just need to confirm what a file contains before sharing, archiving, or troubleshooting it.

Change a PDF’s title, author, and keywords

Every PDF carries a hidden set of document properties — title, author, subject, and keywords — stored in its Info dictionary. These show up in a reader’s title bar, in search results, and in file managers, but they often say the wrong thing: a generic export name, a previous editor’s name, or nothing at all. Once you have seen the current values above, rewrite any of the four editable fields and download the result — the pages themselves are untouched.

Clear PDF metadata for privacy

Metadata can leak more than you intend — a document’s real author, the software that generated it, or an internal project name. To remove PDF metadata, clear each field (or use Remove all metadata) before saving; the corresponding entries are dropped from the file rather than left blank-but-present. It is a quick way to scrub a PDF’s properties before sharing it outside your organisation.

Free, private, and on every device

This PDF metadata tool has no limits, no watermark, and no catch. Your privacy is built in: your PDF is processed on the server and never written to disk or stored, then discarded the moment your download is ready. It works on any device, from Windows and Mac to iPhone and Android. When the file itself — not just its properties — needs to be locked down, our Lock PDF tool adds a password.

Frequently asked questions

What PDF properties can I view?

Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, PDF version, creation and modified dates, page count, page size, encryption status, whether the PDF is tagged, and whether it is linearized (Fast Web View) — the full document properties, read directly from the file.

What PDF metadata can I edit?

Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords — the four fields in a PDF’s Info dictionary that readers, search engines, and file managers display. Each one pre-fills with its current value so you can see what is there before changing it.

How do I remove metadata from a PDF?

Clear the fields you want gone — or use the Remove all metadata button to empty every editable field at once — then save. Cleared fields are dropped from the PDF entirely rather than saved as empty text.

Will editing metadata change how my PDF looks?

No. Only the Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords properties are changed. Every page, image, and piece of text stays exactly as it was.

Can I view or edit metadata on a password-protected PDF?

Not directly — an encrypted PDF has to be readable first. Remove its password with our Unlock PDF tool, then view or edit its metadata here.

Is viewing and editing PDF metadata free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no email, and no watermark. Upload your PDF, check or update its properties, and download the result at no cost.

How do I view or edit PDF metadata on Windows, Mac, iPhone, or Android?

The same way on every device. This is a free online tool that runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install. Open this page on any device, upload your PDF, review or edit the fields, and download the result.

Why Your PDF Shows the Wrong Name in the Browser Tab

A PDF’s title comes from a hidden property, not the filename — which is why a file called Invoice.pdf opens as "Microsoft Word - Untitled1". Here is how to fix it.

How to Remove Metadata From a PDF

A PDF can quietly carry your name, company, and software details in its metadata. Here is how to check what is there and clear it before sharing, free.

Your privacy comes first

Every uploaded file is processed securely over an encrypted connection and is never written to disk or stored — it is automatically discarded the moment your download is ready.
