Edit Metadata

View and edit PDF metadata and properties

What This Tool Does

Our Edit Metadata tool allows you to view and edit PDF document metadata and properties. Metadata includes information such as title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and modification dates that are embedded in the PDF file. You can view all existing metadata and edit any fields as needed. This is useful for organizing documents, adding searchable keywords, updating author information, or standardizing metadata across multiple files. The tool automatically updates the modification date when you save changes. All metadata changes are saved directly to the PDF file and will be visible in file properties when viewing the document. All processing happens instantly in your browser, ensuring your documents remain private and secure. The tool is completely free with no watermarks, no file size limits, and no signup required. Perfect for organizing document libraries, improving searchability, or updating document information.

  • When organizing document libraries by adding descriptive titles, authors, and keywords
  • When improving document searchability by adding relevant keywords and subject information
  • When updating author information or document ownership details
  • When standardizing metadata across multiple documents for consistency
  • When viewing or updating document properties for archival or organizational purposes
