Remove the hidden metadata from your PDF
A PDF carries more than the pages you see. In its document-info dictionary and XMP block sit the author name, the software that made it, the creation and last-modified timestamps, and sometimes a full editing trail — details that quietly leak who wrote a contract, résumé or report and when. MetaMarshal reads all of it in your browser, shows you what's there, and strips it so the file you send says only what you intend.

Processed on your device — nothing is uploaded unless you tap the optional AI estimate.
Nothing leaves your device to clean a photo — the only exception is the optional AI location estimate, which sends a downscaled copy off-device, and only after you tap to confirm.
How it works
1
Drop a PDF above — it's read entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
2
See what it reveals: author and creator name, producing software, and the creation/modification timestamps.
3
Strip the metadata and confirm the fields are cleared before you export.
4
Download the clean PDF, ready to email, upload or publish without the hidden trail.
