Metadata in PDF files often contains hidden information that you might not want to share, or it might be missing crucial details needed for proper organization. The Edit PDF Metadata tool by Randomly.online allows you to modify fields such as the Document Title, Author Name, Subject, Keywords, Creator, and Producer. Whether you are preparing a document for publication, organizing a digital library, or ensuring privacy before sharing, correct metadata is essential.
Unlike other tools that upload your files to a remote server, our tool processes everything locally within your browser using advanced JavaScript libraries. This ensures 100% privacy—your sensitive documents never leave your device. If you need to ensure no one else can modify your metadata, consider using our Protect PDF tool after editing.
The dual-mode interface (Light/Dark) ensures a comfortable editing experience in any lighting condition, while the batch processing capability saves you time when working with multiple files simultaneously. If your files are scattered, you can Merge PDFs first and then standardize their metadata in one go.
1. Upload Your PDF: Simply drag and drop your PDF file (or multiple files) into the upload zone, or click the "Select PDF Files" button. You can always check the file content first with our PDF Viewer.
2. Edit Fields: Once loaded, you will see a preview thumbnail and editable text fields for Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords. You can manually type new information, or use the "Use Filename" button to quickly set the title.
3. Batch Actions: If you uploaded multiple files, you can use the top toolbar to apply the metadata from the first file to all others, or clear all fields instantly.
4. Save and Download: Click the "Save & Download" button on individual rows to get updated single files, or use the "Download All" button at the bottom to receive a ZIP archive of all your processed documents.
Is it safe to edit PDF metadata here?
Yes, absolutely. This tool operates entirely on the client-side. This means your PDF files are processed by your own computer's browser and are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. This guarantees maximum privacy and security for your documents.
Can I remove metadata using this tool?
Yes. To remove metadata, simply delete the text inside the fields (Title, Author, etc.) so they are empty, and then click "Save & Download". The resulting PDF will have those metadata fields cleared. This is similar to how you might clean data using our Image Metadata Viewer for photos.
What is PDF Metadata and why change it?
PDF Metadata is "data about data." It includes hidden information like who created the file, what software was used, and when it was created. Search engines and operating systems use this to index files. Changing it ensures your file looks professional (e.g., showing a proper Title instead of "Microsoft Word - Doc1.docx"). If you need to access the actual content of the file instead of just metadata, try our PDF to Text Converter.
