PDF Metadata Editor

Use this free PDF metadata editor to inspect and update document properties like title, author, subject, and keywords — entirely in your browser.

Edit metadata

Upload a PDF to view and edit its document properties.

Why use this tool?

Auto-read properties

Existing metadata is loaded into editable fields as soon as you upload a PDF.

All standard fields

Edit title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer in one place.

No content changes

When you change PDF metadata online, only the document information dictionary is updated — pages, text, and images stay identical.

Common use cases

Set title for accessibility

Screen readers use the PDF title to announce the document. Add one to improve accessibility compliance.

Add author before sharing

Ensure your name or organisation appears in the document properties before distributing a PDF.

Tag keywords for search

Add relevant keywords so the PDF is easier to find in document management systems.

Frequently asked questions

Which metadata fields can I edit?

Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer. Creation and modification dates are displayed as read-only.

Does editing metadata change the PDF content?

No. Only the document information dictionary is updated. Pages, text, and images are untouched.

Can I remove metadata?

Yes. Clear any field and save to remove that property from the PDF.
