Check and remove PDF metadata privately
Check document properties, authoring traces, hidden metadata, attachments, forms, and active content before sharing. The inspection stays in this tab.
How to check a PDF before sharing
Choose or drop the PDF you plan to share.
Review the findings: people and document details, app and creation details, hidden metadata, and embedded or active content.
Remove the metadata only, or sanitize a new copy that also drops comments, forms, links, attachments, and scripts.
Frequently asked questions
What does the privacy check find?
Document properties, XMP metadata, document IDs, comments and annotations, attachments, scripts and automatic actions, form fields, digital signatures, and optional layers.
What isn’t checked?
Visible page text, scanned images, and content hidden under redaction marks. Apply redactions in a trusted editor first; DocuChan blocks cleanup that could reveal covered content.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The PDF is read and changed by code running in this browser tab. The tools page blocks network connections for file processing, so the document, its pages, and any password you type stay on your device.
How large can the PDF be?
Up to 150 MB per file, 300 MB in total when you work with several files, and 500 pages. Very large or complex documents also depend on your device’s memory.
Is it free?
Yes. The PDF tools are free to use, need no account, and add no watermark.
