Remove the author, title, software and hidden dates from your PDF before sharing it. Free, no sign-up, 100% in your browser — your file is not uploaded.
Every PDF stores hidden properties almost no one checks: the author (often your Windows username), the title, the software it was made with (Word, InDesign, a virtual printer) and the creation and modification dates. When you email the document or upload it to a site, you share those details without realizing it. This tool strips the PDF properties (author, title, subject, keywords, producer and creator) and removes the XMP metadata block, without touching the pages: the content stays identical but clean. Unlike other sites, fetchio.io does it inside your browser with pdf-lib, so the file never leaves your device. Drop it, press one button, and download a trace-free PDF, with no watermarks and no daily limits.
Drag it or click to choose it. Nothing is uploaded.
Author, title, subject, software and dates are removed without touching the pages.
Get your clean PDF, ready to share.
A PDF stores hidden properties: the author (sometimes your system username), the title, the subject, the keywords, the software it was made with and the creation and modification dates. Removing them protects your privacy and avoids leaking who made the document, with which program and when, before you send or publish it.
No. The metadata is removed directly in your browser with pdf-lib; the PDF never leaves your device, so your data stays private.
No. Only the document properties and the XMP metadata block are removed; the text, images and pages stay exactly the same.
Yes. Beyond clearing the classic properties (author, title, software), the tool removes the XMP metadata stream from the catalog if present, so no copies of that data are left inside the file.
fetchio.io never uploads your PDF, adds no watermarks, and doesn’t cap how many files you clean per day. Everything is free and processed in your browser.
