Remove PDF Metadata
Strip the hidden author, title, software and timestamp data baked into a PDF before you share it — so the file says only what you mean it to. Done in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
How to remove metadata from pdf
Drop your PDF onto the box above (or click to choose it).
Fudobe opens it in Protect mode.
Choose “strip metadata” to clear the identifying fields.
Save the sanitized PDF to your device — nothing was uploaded.
Most online PDF tools upload your file to their servers. Fudobe does it in your browser — your document never leaves your device.
Your PDF shouldn’t leak your name and your software version to everyone you send it to.
remove metadata from PDF — your questions
What metadata gets removed?+
The identifying document properties — title, author, subject, keywords, and the producer/creator software fields — that quietly travel inside a PDF and can reveal who made it and with what.
Why does this matter?+
A PDF you send can carry your name, your organisation and the app you used without you realising. Stripping it before sharing publicly is good document hygiene.
Is my file uploaded to scrub it?+
No. The metadata is removed in your browser; the document never leaves your device — which is rather the point of sanitising it.
Is it free?+
Yes — free, no account, no watermark, because it runs on your machine.
