Please note: these are just informational metadata fields inside the PDF file — they carry no legal or cryptographic weight, and other systems (email servers, cloud storage, version history) often keep independent timestamps this can't change. Presenting a document with altered metadata to misrepresent it to someone else (a business partner, a court, a tax authority, an insurer) can constitute fraud. Please only use this for legitimate purposes, like correcting your own files.

What this tool edits

PDF documents carry a set of informational metadata fields — title, author, subject, keywords, creation and modification dates, and the producing application — separate from the actual page content. This tool lets you view and rewrite those fields directly in your browser, useful for cleaning up files before sharing (removing a previous author's name, fixing a wrong title) or correcting inaccurate auto-generated metadata from a scanner or export tool.

Editing happens entirely client-side, directly in your browser, with no limit on how many times you can use it.

Frequently asked questions

What metadata fields can I edit?

Title, author, subject, keywords, and creation/modification dates — the standard informational fields stored inside every PDF, separate from its actual visible content.

Does changing metadata affect the visible content of my PDF?

No. These fields are informational only and don't change how the document looks or reads — they're metadata about the file, not the file's content itself.

Is my PDF's content uploaded anywhere?

No. Metadata is read and rewritten entirely in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.

Is there a limit on how many times I can use this?

No — editing metadata is completely free and unlimited, with no account and no usage cap.

Is editing metadata legal?

Correcting your own files is fine. Metadata carries no legal or cryptographic weight, but presenting a document with altered metadata to misrepresent it to someone else can constitute fraud — see our Terms of Service.
