Sealed Browser Processing

Free Browser-Based PDF Metadata Viewer & Cleaner

Sanitize document properties, author names, and XMP streams without cloud uploads

When you export a PDF from word processors or design software, extensive metadata is automatically injected into the document header. This includes who created the file, their computer operating system, application versions, and timestamps.

Our PDF Metadata Viewer & Remover gives you full visibility into what information is embedded in your PDF files. With a single click, you can purge the author, title, producer, and XML/XMP metadata streams, producing an anonymous, clean document ready for public release.

PDF files commonly accumulate hidden metadata including creator names, organization titles, software license tags, and revision histories. This digital footprint can unintentionally expose internal workflows, client names, or personal identities to external recipients. Modifyle parses and scrubs these binary dictionary streams in local memory, producing sanitized files ready for safe public dissemination.

Because the entire operation runs within your browser's local memory environment, not a single byte leaves your computer.

Frequently Asked Questions

PDF files typically contain the author's full name, company name, document title, subject, creation software (e.g. Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Word, Google Docs), PDF producer version, and exact creation/modification timestamps. In some cases, previous revision histories and XML/XMP streams are also retained.
If you are submitting legal briefs, academic papers, competitive proposals, or public reports, leaving author names or internal software paths exposed can lead to unintentional data leaks, competitor analysis, or biased evaluations. Scrubbing ensures anonymity.
No. Modifyle specifically sanitizes the document catalog and Info dictionary objects. All page content, embedded fonts, vector graphics, text formatting, and hyperlinks remain 100% intact.
Never. Modifyle executes pdf-lib directly in your browser. All parsing and scrubbing happen locally in your device's RAM with zero network transmission.
