The Free Online PDF Metadata Editor

PDF4me lets you view and edit PDF metadata online, right in your browser. Open any file to see its title, author, subject, and keywords, then update those details or clear the ones you do not want to share. There is no software to install and no account needed to get started.
Metadata is the hidden information stored inside every PDF, and it often carries more than you expect. With PDF4me you stay in control of what your documents reveal, whether you are tidying up a report, preparing a file for the web, or removing personal details before you send it on.

Clear Hidden Metadata Before You Share

Every PDF can hold details you never meant to send, such as an author name, the software that created it, or an old file path. PDF4me makes it easy to review these properties and clear the ones you want to keep private before you share or publish a document.
Your files are safe throughout. They are uploaded over an encrypted HTTPS connection, processed on protected servers, and removed automatically once you are done. We never share or sell your files.

Editing and clearing hidden metadata in a PDF with PDF4me

View Every Property Stored in Your PDF

Before you change anything, it helps to see what is already there. PDF4me shows you the full set of document properties, including the title, author, subject, and keywords, along with the creator and producer applications and the creation and modification dates.
This clear view makes it simple to spot outdated or incorrect information, so you can decide exactly what to update and what to remove.

How to Edit PDF Metadata Online

  1. Drag your PDF into the editor above, or upload it from your device, Google Drive, or Dropbox.

Edit the Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords

PDF4me lets you update the metadata fields that matter most. Set a clear title so your document shows the right name in browsers and libraries, add the correct author, and write a helpful subject and keywords that make the file easier to find and organise.
Accurate metadata keeps large collections tidy and improves how your PDFs appear when they are indexed or searched, which is especially useful for reports, ebooks, and files you publish online.

Edit PDF Metadata on Windows, Mac, and Mobile

Because PDF4me runs in your web browser, you can edit PDF metadata on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, as well as on iOS and Android phones and tablets. There is nothing to download, install, or update.
That means you can check a document’s properties from your desk and clear a sensitive detail from your phone a moment later, all with the same tool and the same simple steps.

Automate PDF Metadata Editing Across Your Tools

If you handle many documents, you can set metadata automatically instead of editing each file by hand. The PDF4me API and ready made connectors for Zapier, Power Automate, and Make let you update or clear metadata inside the workflows you already use.
It is a dependable way for teams and developers to standardise document properties at scale. For higher limits and priority processing, see the Pricing page.
