Edit PDF Metadata Online

PDFBell's pdf metadata editor lets you view and edit the hidden Document Properties buried inside every PDF — Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, and Producer, plus the Creation and Modification dates most PDF readers tuck away under a menu called something like "Document Properties" or "Get Info." Upload a PDF and every one of those fields shows up pre-filled with whatever is already stored inside the file, ready to correct, update, or delete.

Metadata is one of the easiest ways a PDF quietly reveals more than its visible content. The Author field often holds the real name tied to whichever Word or Adobe account created the file, Creator and Producer expose the exact software and version used to build it, and the Creation and Modification dates can betray when a document was actually drafted versus when it claims to have been finalized or signed. Before sharing a contract, résumé, or scanned form outside your organization, it's worth checking what's hiding in these fields — and this tool's Clear All Metadata & Download button strips every one of them in a single click, for the moments privacy matters more than record-keeping.

Editing works the same way: change any field in the form — correct a misspelled author name, add keywords for a document management system, or rewrite the Subject line — and click Update Metadata & Download to save just those changes without touching the PDF's pages, images, or text. Leaving a field blank and saving removes that entry from the file entirely rather than storing an empty value, so a cleared field stays genuinely cleared instead of quietly persisting as an empty string.

Every read and write happens locally in your browser using the same open-source pdf-lib engine that powers PDFBell's other tools — your document, and everything inside its metadata, never reaches a server. There's no file-size cap, no daily limit, and no watermark added to the file you download.
