PDF metadata (also called document properties) is hidden information embedded in a PDF file — including the title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, producer, and creation/modification dates. Filator's free metadata editor lets you view, edit, or remove all these fields directly in your browser using pdf-lib. No Adobe Acrobat, no server upload, no signup.
Most PDF metadata editors — Sejda (3 tasks/hour free), PDF Candy (sign-in required), and PDF24 — upload your files to their servers. Filator processes everything locally. For confidential documents where metadata removal matters (legal, medical, financial), that privacy difference is critical.
All metadata editing happens in your browser. Your PDF files never leave your device, unlike Sejda, PDF Candy, and PDF24 which upload files to their servers and store them for 1-2 hours.
Edit metadata for PDFs up to 100MB. Sejda caps at 50MB and PDF Candy requires sign-in. Filator has no login requirement.
No "3 tasks per hour" restrictions like Sejda, and no sign-in requirement like PDF Candy. Edit unlimited PDFs with zero restrictions.
Edit all standard PDF properties: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, plus Creation and Modification dates.
Add clear titles, authors, and keywords to make PDFs easily searchable and organized in file managers and document libraries.
Remove all metadata before sharing PDFs publicly to prevent exposing sensitive information like author names, company details, or creation software.
Update author names, copyright information, and document titles when publishing reports, white papers, or e-books professionally.
Add relevant keywords and descriptive titles to PDFs for better search engine indexing and discoverability.
Upload your PDF file, view the existing metadata fields, edit any field you want to change (title, author, subject, keywords, etc.), then download your updated PDF. The entire process happens in your browser with no server upload.
Yes, Filator's PDF metadata editor is completely free with no signup required. Unlike PDF Candy which requires sign-in or Sejda with 3 tasks/hour limits, Filator has unlimited usage.
With Filator, yes. All metadata editing happens directly in your browser using client-side processing. Your PDF files never leave your device, unlike Sejda, PDF Candy, and PDF24 which upload files to their servers.
You can edit all standard PDF metadata fields: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, Creation Date, and Modification Date. You can also remove all metadata completely for privacy.
No, Filator's PDF metadata editor works entirely in your web browser. No software download, Adobe Acrobat subscription, or installation required. Works on any device with a modern browser.
Yes, you can remove all metadata fields at once for privacy purposes. This is useful when sharing documents publicly or removing sensitive information embedded in PDF properties.
No, editing metadata only changes document properties (title, author, etc.) and does not modify the actual PDF content, pages, images, or text. The visible document remains exactly the same.
Filator processes one PDF at a time. Upload, edit, download, then repeat. Each file processes instantly in your browser so the workflow is fast.
Adobe Acrobat Pro ($19.99/month) has a metadata editor under File → Properties, but it requires desktop software. Filator edits metadata in your browser — same fields (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, dates), same result, no software. You can also use ExifTool (command-line, technical users only) or LibreOffice (open PDF → export with new properties — complex workflow). Filator is the fastest option for non-technical users.
Open Filator in any browser, upload your PDF, edit the fields you want (title, author, subject, keywords, etc.), click Save. No Adobe, no software, no server upload.
Yes. Works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android. Upload, edit fields, download. No app needed.
Top options: Sejda (3 tasks/hour, server), PDF Candy (sign-in required), PDF24 (simple, server), Filator (all fields, remove all, browser-based, no limits). Filator is the only one that processes locally for privacy.
Bottom line: Filator's PDF metadata editor lets you view, edit, or remove 7 metadata fields (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, dates) — all free, all in your browser. Sejda limits to 3 tasks/hour. PDF Candy requires sign-in. Adobe costs $19.99/month. Filator has no limits, no upload, and one-click metadata removal for privacy.
Update document properties, organize your PDF library, or remove sensitive metadata for privacy. No signup, no limits, 100% private. Start editing instantly.
