PDFs carry hidden metadata — author name, software used, creation date, edit history, and sometimes GPS coordinates in embedded images. oMyPDF's Remove PDF Metadata tool strips all of this information before you share or publish a document, giving you a clean file with no private details attached. Processing happens in your browser for files under 15 MB.

Frequently asked questions
Is the oMyPDF metadata tool free?
Yes. Viewing and removing PDF metadata is 100% free with no watermark and no sign-up required.
What metadata can I remove?
Title, author, subject, keywords, creator (the app that made it), producer and the embedded XMP packet. You can clear everything or edit individual fields.
Why remove metadata?
PDF metadata can reveal your name, your software, and when the file was made. Removing it protects your privacy before sharing or publishing a document.
Can I edit instead of erase?
Yes. Change any field to a new value and leave the others — only empty fields are cleared.
Are my files safe?
PDFs under 15 MB are cleaned entirely in your browser and never uploaded. Larger files are sent over an encrypted connection, processed immediately, and deleted right after.
