How it works

Four calm steps.

  1. 01

    Drop your file

    Drag the PDF whose metadata you want to change onto the upload card, or click to pick it from your device. You can also paste a link to a file hosted online.

  2. 02

    Edit fields

    Update title, author, subject, keywords, producer and creation date. Or clear them all with one click.

  3. 03

    Preview before you commit

    Check the outcome in the browser first. Reorder, remove, or re-run with different settings – nothing is final until you press download.

  4. 04

    Download the result

    Save the PDF with clean metadata to your device, share a temporary link, or send it straight to Google Drive or Dropbox. Files are wiped from our servers within one hour.

Why Edit PDF Metadata

Built to be the last edit pdf metadata tool you try.

Search-friendly

Proper titles and keywords make your PDFs findable inside document management systems.

Privacy tidy-up

One click clears identifying info before you post a PDF publicly.

Private by default

Uploads travel over TLS, files are encrypted at rest, and every trace is deleted within 60 minutes. We do not read, index, or train on your documents.

No signup required

The free tier handles most day-to-day work. You only create an account if you want history, larger files, or batch automation.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Does this change the visible content?

No. Only the metadata block is rewritten – every page renders exactly the same.

Are XMP fields supported?

Yes. Both the legacy Info dictionary and the modern XMP packet are updated in sync.

Is PDF Books Lib really free?

Yes. The free tier covers everyday use – you can edit metadata for several files per hour without an account. Pro unlocks larger uploads and batch jobs.

What happens to my files?

They live in an encrypted staging area for at most one hour, then they are permanently deleted. Nobody on our team can browse them.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser against our servers – Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android are all supported.

Is Privacy tidy-up free to use?

Yes. Privacy tidy-up is free on the no-signup tier with no watermark added to your files. A paid plan only lifts batch and file-size limits for heavy users.

Do I need to install software or create an account for Privacy tidy-up?

No. Privacy tidy-up runs entirely in your browser - there is nothing to download and no account is required to get started.

Are my files private when I use Privacy tidy-up?

Yes. Uploads travel over an encrypted connection, are processed in an isolated pipeline, and are permanently deleted from our servers within 60 minutes. We never read, index or train on your documents.

What is the largest file Privacy tidy-up can handle?

On the free tier Privacy tidy-up accepts files up to 100 MB. Larger documents are supported on the paid plan, or you can split a big file first.

Does Privacy tidy-up work on mobile and every browser?

Yes - Privacy tidy-up is fully responsive and works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Will Privacy tidy-up change the rest of my document?

No. Privacy tidy-up only applies the change you make and leaves the rest of the pages, fonts and layout exactly as they were.
