Frequently asked questions

What metadata does a PDF contain?

Usually the title, author name, subject, keywords, the app that created it, the PDF producer, creation and modification dates, and often an XMP metadata block with even more detail.

Does removing metadata change the content?

No. Pages, text, images and form fields stay exactly the same.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No — and that matters for privacy tools. Everything happens in your browser.
