Frequently Asked Questions
Does cleaning metadata change the visible pages?
No. The pages, text, images, links and form fields are kept. Only document-level properties and the XMP metadata stream are removed.
Can metadata remain inside images or attachments?
Yes. Embedded images, attachments and custom application data may contain their own metadata. This tool removes the PDF document properties and XMP stream, not metadata inside every embedded object.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is read and cleaned in your browser. It never leaves your device.
