Edit PDF Metadata
View and change a PDF’s title, author, subject, keywords and creator metadata in your browser.
About this tool
The title a PDF reader shows, the author an email preview displays and the keywords a document system indexes all live in the metadata — and they are usually wrong, inherited from whoever’s template made the file. This tool lets you view what is stored and set title, author, subject, keywords and creator properly, with an option to clear everything first.
Only the information dictionary changes; not a single page is touched. Each result card reads back the metadata now stored in the file, so you can verify before you share.
How to use Edit PDF Metadata
- Choose up to 20 PDF files (20 MB each).
- Fill in the metadata fields you want to set (blank fields are left as they are).
- Download the updated PDFs — each result card shows the metadata now stored.
Keep the original files and inspect the exported result before publishing or sharing it.
Frequently asked questions
Why does metadata matter?
Readers, search engines and document systems display the title and author instead of the filename. Setting them makes shared PDFs look professional.
What does "clear all first" do?
It blanks every editable field before applying the values you typed — the clean way to strip a previous author’s details.
Does editing metadata change the pages?
No. Only the document information dictionary changes; page content is untouched.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Metadata is read and written locally.
