About this tool
Sharing a PDF can leak the author's name, the company's software and the editing dates. The PDF Metadata Remover opens the file in your browser and blanks the document information fields and the XMP packet in place, leaving pages, fonts and images untouched and the structure valid. You get a cleaned copy per file or a .zip of the batch, and nothing is uploaded. One limit: PDFs saved with compressed object streams (PDF 1.5 and later) may keep a copy of the information dictionary inside a deflated stream, which this tool cannot reach and therefore leaves unmodified; re-save the file with a PDF converter first if the viewer still shows metadata afterwards.

Key features of this tool
Structure preserved
Values are overwritten in place with the same length, so cross-reference offsets stay valid and the file size does not change.
Files never leave your device
Reading, compressing and rewriting happen in your browser with the File API; nothing is uploaded to IPVoid.
Batch friendly
Up to 25 files at once, each row has its own download link and the whole batch can be saved as a .zip archive.
Frequently asked questions
What is removed?
Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation and modification dates in the Info dictionary, and the entire XMP metadata packet. Page content, fonts and images are untouched.
Why is the file size the same?
Values are replaced by blanks of identical length instead of being deleted, which keeps every byte offset in the PDF valid without rewriting the file.
Some metadata is still there
PDFs with compressed object streams keep the Info dictionary inside a deflated stream that this tool cannot edit; a note in the result says so. Re-save the PDF with a converter first, then strip it.
Are encrypted PDFs supported?
Encrypted files have their strings encrypted too; the tool leaves them untouched.
