Why Edit PDF Metadata?

PDF metadata contains important document properties like title, author, subject, and keywords. These are used by search engines, document management systems, and operating systems to organize, index, and display your files. Properly tagged PDFs are easier to find and manage.

Common reasons to edit metadata include adding your name as the author on documents you created, setting a proper title instead of a file name, adding keywords for searchability, cleaning up metadata before sharing files externally, and removing sensitive information from document properties.

Our tool lets you view and modify all standard PDF metadata fields directly in your browser — no software installation needed.

"Brilliant piece of software. Reasonably priced (vs Canva's outrageously expensive API), and despite a few intricacies with the editor, a really fully-featured document generation API. Really great support too from Pedro, the founder!"
