Frequently asked questions

Is Metadata Editor free?

Yes. Metadata Editor is completely free, with no account, no sign-up, no watermark added to your files and no daily limit.

Are my files uploaded when I use Metadata Editor?

No. The PDF is opened and processed inside your browser with JavaScript, so the file never leaves your device and is not stored on any server.

Why does PDF metadata matter for SEO?

Search engines can show the PDF title in results, and a clear title, author and subject help people and search engines understand the document instead of seeing a file name or a blank title.

Can I remove the author name from a PDF?

Yes. Clear the author field, save the metadata and download the new file.
