Frequently Asked Questions

Generally yes, removing metadata from a document you are allowed to share is lawful. However, laws and contracts vary by country, industry, and context. This tool does not provide legal advice.

Not necessarily. Content, embedded fonts, watermarks, and other signals can still identify origin. For stronger privacy, consider rasterizing pages.

By default we clear common Document Info fields (Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, Creation/Modification dates). If enabled, we also replace or strip the embedded XMP packet.

No. This tool only alters metadata. For visual redaction, use a proper redaction workflow or rasterize pages.

Open the cleaned PDF and check File > Properties. You can also click "Analyze Metadata" on the cleaned file.

Those are file-system timestamps, which are separate from PDF metadata. This tool removes internal PDF fields only.

Encrypted PDFs can't be scrubbed without the correct password. Unlock in a viewer first, export to a new PDF, then scrub.

Yes. All processing happens client-side. Once the page is cached, it can work offline. No files are uploaded.

No. Metadata removal is permanent. Keep an original copy if you may need the metadata in the future.

Use a PDF editor to make structural changes. Then clean metadata if needed. This tool only removes metadata, not content or layout.
