How to use PDF Metadata Editor
Choose your PDF
Click the box above or drop one PDF file onto it. The tool reads the title, author, subject and keywords already stored in the file.
Change the details
Edit the title, author, subject and keywords in the boxes below. Leave a box empty to clear that detail.
Save the PDF
Press “Save Metadata”. Your PDF downloads with the new details — the pages themselves do not change at all.
Example: Example: a report saved as “Untitled” with no author — set the title to “Annual Report 2026”, the author to your name, and the keywords to “report, annual, 2026”, and every reader sees the proper details.
About PDF Metadata Editor
Every PDF carries hidden details — its title, author, subject and keywords — the information a PDF reader shows in Properties and a search engine can read. Many PDFs arrive with the wrong details: “Untitled”, a scanner's name as the author, or no keywords at all. PDFTools edits your PDF's metadata right in your browser: read what is stored now, change what is wrong, and save. The pages themselves do not change at all.
Good metadata makes a document easier to find and more professional to share: the right title in the reader's tab, your name as the author, and keywords that describe the content. There is no upload, so your document never leaves your device, and there is no watermark or page limit. Everything is free, with no account and no sign-up, and it works on phones, tablets and computers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I edit PDF metadata?
Choose your PDF, change the title, author, subject and keywords in the boxes below, then press “Save Metadata”. The updated PDF downloads immediately.
What is PDF metadata?
The hidden details stored in a PDF: its title, author, subject and keywords. PDF readers show them in Properties, and search engines can read them.
Will editing metadata change my PDF pages?
No. Only the stored details change. The pages, text, images and layout stay exactly the same.
Can I clear the metadata completely?
Yes. Leave a box empty and that detail is removed from the file — useful before sharing a document you do not want traced back to you.
Is editing PDF metadata free?
Yes. Editing PDF metadata on PDFTools is 100% free. There is no paid plan, no page limit and no watermark.
Do my PDF files get uploaded?
No. The edit happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device and nothing is stored on any server.
