KissPDF PDF Metadata Remover
Use this PDF metadata remover to find hidden document information and remove metadata from a PDF before you share it. Delete standard properties, XMP metadata, custom fields, application data, and file identifiers in one step.
A PDF can reveal the author, software used to create it, creation and modification dates, keywords, identifiers, and custom workflow data even when none of that information appears on the page.
KissPDF reads, removes, and checks the supported metadata in browser memory. Your PDF is never uploaded, and the cleaned document is downloaded as a separate copy.
Choose a PDF, review the hidden properties found, then remove PDF metadata and download a cleaned copy.
Select the PDF whose metadata you want to inspect and remove.
Check the read-only list of document properties, XMP values, custom fields, and file IDs.
KissPDF deletes the supported metadata containers and rewrites the document locally.
The output is checked for remaining supported metadata before it is downloaded.
Practical guide
Inspect and remove PDF metadata online, including standard and custom document properties, XMP metadata packets, file identifiers, and application-private metadata, without uploading the document.
The read-only report shows supported metadata values found in the document. These can include author and title properties, software names, timestamps, keywords, custom workflow fields, XMP values, and file identifiers.
KissPDF removes the complete document information dictionary, document-level and object-level XMP metadata streams, PDF trailer identifiers, PieceInfo dictionaries, and LastModified application metadata. The output is scanned again before download.
Removing metadata is not the same as redaction or document sanitization. Visible text, comments, annotations, attachments, form fields, and metadata embedded inside image files are not intentionally deleted by this tool.
Metadata discovery, removal, output creation, and verification run in browser memory. The original file remains on your device and the cleaned result is saved as a separate PDF.
