PDF metadata cleaner for document properties and XMP

Updated September 21, 2026

Create a separate PDF copy with supported document properties removed, without uploading your PDF to this website. This tool cleans metadata; it does not redact private information from the visible document.

Clean a PDF in your browser

Choose one PDF, up to 50 MB

For the full selected-file details, clear control, completion popup and browser-supported PDF preview, use PDF metadata cleaner on the homepage when enabled.

Which PDF metadata fields are targeted?

Title, author, subject and keywords.
Creator and producer information.
Creation and modification dates.
Document-level XMP metadata and the document language property.

The cleaner checks supported standard fields, not every possible PDF object. Custom properties, embedded objects or attachments may contain additional information. “No recognized metadata found” does not mean a document is anonymous.

How to review and download a cleaned PDF

Select one PDF no larger than 50 MB.
Allow local inspection to finish and review its status.
Select Clean PDF metadata.
Download the file, named rasmiclean_ai_ followed by the original PDF filename.
Open the result in a PDF reader and check pages, text, links and document properties before sharing.

The original is not overwritten. The workflow is intended to preserve document content and layout, but you should check the exported copy. A filename can still reveal personal information, so rename it before sharing when necessary.

Important document privacy limits

This is not a redaction or sanitization tool. Visible names, addresses, comments, annotations, form values, attachments and unsupported metadata may remain. It does not remove watermarks or establish whether a document was written by AI.

Encrypted and digitally signed PDFs are not supported. Do not process a document whose digital signature must remain valid: modifying a signed PDF can invalidate its signature. Keep the original for records and verification.

PDF cleaner questions

Why is the PDF preview unavailable?

Inline PDF viewing depends on the browser and device. On the homepage, a supported browser can show the cleaned copy in the popup and result section. If that preview is unavailable, download the file and inspect it in a PDF reader.

Can I clean several PDFs at once?

The current PDF cleaner processes one document at a time. Select and clean the next PDF separately.

Does this remove all AI provenance from a PDF?

No. Removing supported standard properties and XMP is not exhaustive C2PA removal, watermark removal or proof of non-AI origin. Read the Content Credentials guide for those distinctions.

Where is the PDF processed?

In your browser. Selected PDF contents are not sent to the cleaner's server. Downloads stay on your device until you delete them; see our PDF privacy details.
