How it helps

A straightforward way to work with your document

Metadata cleaning is a useful privacy step for reports, templates, client documents and files created from internal systems. It does not redact visible page content, so review the document itself separately.

The cleanup runs in your browser and the source PDF stays on your device. No registration is required.
