What PDF metadata fields can I edit?

You can edit the title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer fields. These are the standard document properties shown by PDF readers in File > Properties.

Does editing metadata change the PDF content?

No. Metadata editing only modifies the document properties. The pages, text, images, and layout remain exactly the same.

Do my files get uploaded to a server?

No. Metadata editing is done entirely in your browser with pdf-lib. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Why should I edit PDF metadata?

Correct metadata improves document organization, search results, and accessibility. Screen readers use the title field, and file managers display author and subject in search results.

Can I remove all metadata from a PDF?

Yes. Clear all fields and save. The tool writes empty values for title, author, subject, and keywords, effectively removing the metadata.
