Why Use It
Common reasons to edit PDF metadata
Fix a wrong or missing title
Many PDFs show a messy filename as their title in browser tabs and viewers. Set a proper one instead.
Correct authorship info
Update the author field when a document was exported under the wrong name or a generic default.
Improve searchability
Subject and keyword fields help document management systems and search tools categorize the file correctly.
How It Works
Simple 3-step workflow
1. Choose your PDF
Its current metadata loads into the form automatically.
2. Update the fields
Edit the title, author, subject, or keywords as needed.
3. Save and download
Download the PDF with its updated metadata.
Trust & Privacy
Only the properties change
Editing metadata never touches the pages, text, or images inside your PDF — only the document properties panel that viewers and file managers read.
FAQ
PDF metadata questions
Which metadata fields can I edit?
Title, author, subject, and keywords — the standard document information fields most PDF viewers and file managers display.
Does changing metadata affect the document content?
No. Only the document properties change — the pages, text, and images stay exactly as they were.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Metadata is read and updated entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored.
