PDF Metadata Editor

View and edit the metadata of a PDF — title, author, subject and keywords. Useful for organizing documents and improving how they appear in file lists and search.

OR DRAG & DROP HERE — ONE FILE AT A TIME

Choose a PDF to read and edit its metadata.
Note: Only the document information is changed — the pages and content stay exactly the same. Everything runs on your device.

What is PDF metadata?

Metadata is the information about the document stored inside the file: title, author, subject and keywords. It is what file explorers and document managers show, and what search engines use to understand a PDF's content.

How to use this tool

  1. Drop a PDF file (or click to choose it).
  2. Read the current metadata that is loaded automatically.
  3. Edit the fields you want to change.
  4. Click SAVE & DOWNLOAD.

Why update metadata?

  • Organization — a proper title and author make files easy to find.
  • Professional look — "document.pdf" becomes a real title when someone opens it.
  • Search — keywords help search engines and document managers index the file.

Your privacy

Editing runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never sent to any server and never stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata can I edit?+

The title, author, subject and keywords of the PDF. These are the standard fields shown by file explorers, document managers and search engines.

Does editing metadata change the content?+

No. Only the document information is updated — the pages, text and images stay exactly as they were. The original file is never modified.

Can I remove metadata instead of editing it?+

Yes. Clear the fields you want to remove and save — the downloaded PDF will have empty metadata for those fields.

Why is some metadata missing when I load a file?+

Many PDFs are created without metadata (especially exports and scans). Empty fields simply mean the file never had that information — you can fill it in.

My file shows an error — why?+

The tool cannot read password-protected or corrupted PDFs. Remove the password first with PDF Unlock and try again.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?+

No. Everything happens locally in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
