What does this tool do?
PDF properties appear in viewers, search engines and file browsers. The title, for example, is often shown in the browser tab and can appear in Google results for PDF files. Authoring software also records names and app versions you may want to remove.
Why use it?
- Give published PDFs a proper title for search.
- Remove author names before sharing.
- Add keywords for document management.
SEO tip for PDFs
If you publish PDFs on your site, set a descriptive title — otherwise search engines may show the original filename or an unhelpful heading.
Privacy
Your files are processed entirely in your browser using built-in web technologies. They are not uploaded to our servers, and closing the page clears them from memory. There's no account to create and nothing to install.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. The PDF is processed inside your browser with open-source PDF libraries. It never leaves your device, which makes this safe for contracts, statements and IDs.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
Not yet. Open it in your PDF reader, remove the password (or print it to a new PDF), then use the tool.
