Remove hidden PDF properties before sharing

PDF files can contain a title, author name, subject, keywords, creator application, creation dates, and other properties that are not visible on the page.

This tool removes the standard PDF information dictionary and embedded XMP metadata stream while preserving the document pages.

Everything runs locally in your browser. The original file is never modified or uploaded to a processing server.
