Why Edit PDF Metadata?
PDF metadata includes properties like title, author, and keywords that help with document organization, search indexing, and accessibility. Properly tagged documents are easier to find and manage.
Common use cases include: updating the author name before sharing, adding keywords for searchability, correcting the document title, or setting the language field for accessibility compliance.
This tool loads your PDF entirely in the browser, auto-fills all current metadata, and lets you edit any field. Only the properties you change are updated — all page content and other data remain untouched.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my files uploaded to any server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never transmitted anywhere — they stay on your device.
What metadata fields can I edit?
You can edit title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, language, creation date, and modification date. All standard PDF document properties are supported.
Does editing metadata change the PDF content?
No. Only the document properties are modified. The pages, text, images, and layout remain completely unchanged.
Can I edit metadata of encrypted PDFs?
This tool attempts to load the PDF with encryption ignored. If the PDF allows metadata access, it will work. Heavily restricted files may not be editable.
What format should I use for dates?
Dates use your browser's native date-time picker. Select the date and time, and the tool handles the format conversion automatically.
Can I clear a metadata field?
Yes. Simply delete the text in any field and save. Empty fields will have their metadata removed from the document.
