MinoPDFClean PDF Metadata
Remove metadata from a PDF in your browser — title, author, producer, dates, and XMP. Private, no upload.
Key Features
Remove Metadata
Delete the PDF Info dictionary (title, author, subject, keywords, dates) and the XMP metadata stream in one click.
Keep Producer Option
Optionally keep the Producer field if you need it for compatibility with certain viewers or workflows.
Verification Report
Get a JSON report that lists removed fields and what remains, so you can verify the result before sharing or publishing.
Private & Local
Cleaning runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your PDF never leaves your device and is not uploaded to any server.
Cleaned PDF + Report
Download both the cleaned PDF and the metadata report, or just the PDF if you only need the file.
How to Use
Add a PDF
Drag and drop or select the PDF whose metadata you want to remove. Works with PDFs created by Word, browsers, scanners, and design tools.
Choose Options
Decide whether to keep the Producer field (useful for some workflows), then start the cleaning process.
Review & Download
Inspect the report to see what was removed, then download the cleaned PDF and/or the JSON report.
Clean PDF Metadata Example
A PDF's metadata is stripped, leaving a cleaned file and a report.
document.pdf (with metadata)
A PDF that contains author, producer, creation/modification dates, and XMP metadata.
document-cleaned.pdf, document-clean-report.json
The metadata is removed and a report confirms what remains.
How to Clean PDF Metadata
Why Clean Metadata
PDFs often carry author, producer, dates, and other fields that reveal how and when a file was created. Removing them reduces what is shared when you distribute a file, especially for public documents, submissions, or client work.
What Gets Removed
The tool deletes the Info dictionary (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation and modification dates) and the XMP metadata stream. You can optionally keep the Producer field. A JSON report lists removed and remaining fields so you can verify the result before sharing or publishing.
When to Use This Tool
Use Clean PDF Metadata when you want to:
- Share documents without revealing author or software details.
- Prepare PDFs for public release, submissions, or client delivery.
- Reduce identifying information before uploading to third-party services.
- Audit a PDF to see what metadata it carries before deciding what to remove.
Privacy
Cleaning runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly, so the PDF is never uploaded to any server. You can safely process sensitive or confidential documents.
Limitations
This tool removes document-level metadata (Info dictionary and XMP). It does not redact visible text, remove comments baked into the page content, or sanitize embedded files. For those tasks, use dedicated redaction and sanitization workflows.
