Most PDFs quietly record who made them, with what software, and when — in fields you never see. Look at exactly what yours carries, then download a copy without it, all on your own device. One honest boundary: this cleans the data about the document — text, watermarks, and annotations on the pages are content, and they stay.

One PDF — up to 100 MB
Files are converted on your device — nothing is uploaded.
The tool reads the file’s actual contents to work out what it is — no need to tell it, and a wrong file extension won’t fool it.
Your browser does all the work locally. Nothing is uploaded — the file never leaves your machine, so there’s nothing for anyone to store, scan, or leak.
You see the real numbers — sizes, dimensions, durations — and save the file. Close the tab and nothing of your file remains.
Removed: the data about the document. PDFs carry an Info dictionary — Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, the creating and producing software, creation and modification dates — and often an XMP stream, an XML block that duplicates those fields and can add software history. The tool shows you what it finds, then deletes both.
Untouched: everything on the pages. Text, images, watermarks, headers and footers, and annotations are the document’s content, not metadata. Removing a name typed on a page or a watermark stamped across it is editing — this tool doesn’t do that, and won’t pretend to. If something is visible when you open the PDF, it will still be visible after cleaning.
Also worth knowing. The clean copy is the same document rewritten without those records, so its file size can change slightly. And cleaning only helps the copies you share from now on — anything already sent keeps whatever it carried.
