About Edit PDF metadata

Edit PDF metadata shows the hidden properties of a PDF, such as title, author, subject and the program that made it. Change them, or remove them all before you share a document so it reveals nothing about who made it. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is Edit PDF metadata free?

Yes. Edit PDF metadata is free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Paperwing processes your files inside your browser, on your own device. They are never uploaded, and they are cleared from memory when you close the tab.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Paperwing works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone, with nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Each file can be up to 300 MB. Very large files depend on your device's memory, so a computer handles them faster than a phone.
