Why remove PDF metadata?
PDF files often hide sensitive tracking data that you might not want to share with clients, colleagues, or the public.
Privacy & Hidden GPS Tags
Many PDF generators include your exact GPS coordinates, computer name, and local file paths in the metadata. Sanitizing removes these privacy leaks instantly.
Scrub Author & Software Info
Remove traces of the software used to create the document and the original author's name to ensure a neutral, professional presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it safe to remove PDF metadata online?
Most online tools upload your file to their servers, creating a privacy risk. FixIt Localy processes everything in your browser, so your data never leaves your computer.
Q: What specific metadata is removed?
We scrub the author name, creation date, modification date, creator software, and producer tags, replacing them with neutral values.
Q: Does sanitizing a PDF affect the layout?
No. Sanitization only targets the hidden metadata properties of the document. The visual content and layout remain exactly as they were.
Q: Can I use this tool offline?
Yes! Once the page is loaded, the processing engine works entirely offline using WebAssembly technology.
