What this tool checks
Use this page when you need to fix a few metadata fields instead of removing everything. It is built for targeted edits such as author, description, copyright, title, and document-info fields that are safe to rewrite online.
- It reads editable fields and writes the updated values into a new file.
- Leaving an editable field blank deletes that field from the exported copy.
- The form shows discovered metadata fields. Fields that are unsafe to rewrite can still be marked for deletion when the exporter can remove them.
- For privacy work, you can delete fields you do not want to keep while preserving useful information such as copyright or descriptive labels.
- If you upload a file that cannot be edited here, the page shows that clearly.
For many common files, the file stays on your device while the tool runs. No account is required.
How to use it

What the results show
- Editable fields can be changed in the exported copy.
- Delete-only fields are real discovered metadata fields that should not be rewritten directly.
