What Is PDF Metadata?
PDF metadata is hidden information embedded in a PDF file that describes the document's properties. This includes the title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, and producer. While metadata isn't visible on the document pages, it's used by search engines, file managers, and document management systems to organize and find files.
Our metadata editor lets you view and modify all standard PDF metadata fields. This is useful for setting proper attribution, improving searchability, removing personally identifiable information, or standardizing document properties across a collection of files.
All editing happens locally in your browser — your documents and metadata are never sent to any server.
