About Remove Sensitive PDF Metadata
Remove Sensitive PDF Metadata is here for taking the identifying properties out of a document: wipe author, timestamps and XMP properties. It takes PDF and produces PDF. Files up to 100 MB each, 50 at a time, and the work happens on your own machine rather than on a server.
Useful when the job is taking the identifying properties out of a document and you would rather not install software, join a queue or hand the file to a stranger.

Remove Sensitive PDF Metadata: questions
- Is there a file size limit?
- A single file may be up to 100 MB, and a batch up to 50 files. Those are guardrails rather than a paid tier — the work happens on your machine, so an enormous document is limited by your own memory before it is limited by us.
- Does my file get uploaded?
- No. The page reads the file through the browser's own file API and processes it in the tab. Closing the tab discards the working copy, which is why there is no storage to clear and no retention policy to read.
- Can I use this on mobile?
- The page is responsive and the work runs in the browser on the device, so a file you just downloaded or photographed can be processed without moving it to a computer first.
- Is this free, or free until it asks for a card?
- Free, with no upsell behind it: no account to create and no file-count quota that appears halfway through a job.
