Frequently Asked Questions

What PDF metadata can I edit?
You can edit the Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords fields. The tool also displays Producer, Creator, page count, PDF version, and file size as read-only.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. All metadata reading and writing happens locally in your browser via client-side parsing. Documents never leave your device and nothing is stored remotely.
Why edit PDF metadata?
PDF metadata helps with document organization, search indexing, and SEO. Search engines use the title and description when ranking PDFs.
Can I edit encrypted PDFs?
No. Password-protected or owner-locked PDFs cannot be edited until unlocked. Open the file with its password, save an unlocked copy, then edit metadata here.
What file size is supported?
PDF files up to 50MB are supported. Larger files may take longer to process depending on your device.
What is PDF metadata used for?
PDF metadata (title, author, subject, keywords) helps with document organization, searchability, and SEO. Search engines use the title and description fields when indexing PDFs.
What PDFs does the tool support?
Standard PDF files up to 50MB are supported. The tool uses the PDF specification's Document Information Dictionary and XMP metadata.

How to Calculate

Metadata lives in the PDF Info dictionary and XMP stream (title, author, subject, keywords, dates). Edits rewrite these entries locally in your browser, and the cleaner strips hidden author and software traces before sharing.
