Why Metadata Matters
Improving Searchability
Search engines and operating systems use the 'Title' and 'Keywords' fields to index your files. Adding accurate metadata makes your documents much easier to find later.
Professional Submission
When sending a job application or a formal report, make sure the 'Author' field doesn't contain a generic name like 'Admin' or 'User'. Changing it to your real name looks much more professional.
Digital Archiving
For large collections of PDFs, consistent use of the 'Subject' and 'Keywords' fields allows you to sort and filter your library more effectively using standard file explorers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is editing PDF metadata free?
Yes, our tool is 100% free to use. There are no hidden fees, no limits, and no watermarks.
Do you upload my documents to a server?
Never. All editing happens locally on your computer in your web browser. Your privacy and data security are guaranteed.
What properties can I edit?
You can edit the Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, and Producer tags of your PDF file.
Will editing metadata change my document content?
No. Editing properties only changes the 'tags' attached to the file. Your text, images, and formatting remain completely untouched.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes! Since it's a web-based tool, it works perfectly on all operating systems including macOS, Windows, Linux, and mobile.
Does it support PDF/A standards?
Yes, our tool can read and write standard metadata that is compatible with most PDF archiving formats.
Can I remove all metadata?
Yes, you can simply clear the fields and save the file to remove existing identifies from your document properties.
Will it reduce the quality of my images?
Not at all. We only touch the metadata object within the PDF structure; your pages are never re-rendered or re-compressed.
Why is metadata sometimes called XMP?
XMP is just a standard format for storing metadata. Our tool handles these technical details for you so you can just type as you normally would.
Can I edit password-protected PDFs?
You must provide the password to unlock the document before our tool can read or modify the metadata properties.
How fast is the update?
It's near-instant. Since there's no data transfer to a cloud server, the file is saved as fast as your browser can process the small text changes.
Do I need to install any software?
No. You don't need any special PDF editors or plugins. Everything works in modern browsers like Chrome and Safari.
