Remove Metadata
Remove hidden information from your PDF — author details, creation date, editing history — for added privacy.
Frequently asked questions
What metadata does this remove?
The hidden document properties: author name, company, the software used to create the file, creation and modification dates, and embedded comments. Anything you can see on the page — text, images, layout — is untouched.
Why remove metadata before sharing a PDF?
Files exported from Word, Google Docs, or design software often carry your real name, employer, and internal file paths in their properties, even after you've renamed the file. Stripping metadata stops that information from traveling with a resume, contract, or public report.
Will the file still look and print the same?
Yes. Only metadata fields are cleared — page content, fonts, and formatting are unchanged.
Is my file kept or tracked afterward?
No. Your file is processed and automatically deleted within 1 hour, and pdfiks.com runs no analytics or tracking scripts.
