What is PDF Metadata?

PDF file metadata is the descriptive information embedded within the file that provides details about its origin, properties, and characteristics. This data exists separately from the visible content and includes elements like timestamps, creator information, technical specifications, and file history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this PDF metadata editor cost money?

Not a single penny. We've built this as a free community resource that anyone can use without financial barriers. No credit card required, no "freemium" limitations, just free access forever.

Will my PDF files be uploaded anywhere?

Your files never leave your computer. We utilize client-side JavaScript technology that runs directly in your browser, eliminating any need for file uploads or cloud storage.

Can every metadata field be edited?

You can edit standard metadata fields that don't affect file structure. Some fields like file signatures, checksums, or format identifiers are read-only because modifying them could make the file unreadable.

Is mobile device support available?

Yes! Mobile support is built-in from the ground up. The responsive design ensures optimal usability whether you're on a 6-inch phone screen or a 12-inch tablet display.

Is it safe to edit PDF file metadata?

Completely safe. Metadata editing is a non-destructive operation that only updates informational fields. Your original file content - the actual data you care about - remains perfectly intact.

Can I upload multiple PDF files together?

The tool handles files one at a time, which gives you granular control over each file's metadata and makes it easier to verify changes before downloading the modified version.
