Frequently asked questions

Which metadata is removed?

Document properties (title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer apps, dates), the XMP packet, document IDs, the language tag, and app-specific editing data. Sanitize also removes comments, forms, links, and attachments.

Does it remove names written on the pages?

No. The check covers data stored with the document, not visible text, scanned images, or content under redaction marks. Review the pages themselves before sharing.

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.
