The document information and XMP data are deleted.

Share less about yourself
PDF files store information such as the author's name, the program that made them and when they were changed. This tool deletes the document information, the XMP metadata block and private application data.
The pages themselves are not changed. Check the result with View PDF properties.
Private
Your file is processed inside your browser with the open-source pdf-lib library. It is never uploaded, and nothing is saved after you close the page.
Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your browser, so your files are opened and changed on your own device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else.
Does it remove text on the pages?
No. Only hidden information is removed. To hide text on pages, use Redact PDF.
Is it free?
Yes. Free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits.
