Update a PDF’s document properties — title, author, subject, keywords, and more — without uploading the file. PDFPeach lets you change metadata or remove Info and XMP fields in one pass, entirely in your browser.
Use Change metadata to fix titles that show up wrong in Finder, SharePoint, or PDF readers, or Remove all metadata when you want a clean handoff with fewer identifying fields.
How to edit PDF metadata
- Drop a PDF into the uploader.
- Edit fields under Change metadata, or choose Remove all metadata.
- Download the updated PDF.
Why edit metadata on PDFPeach
- Fix what readers show. Correct title, author, and subject so downloads and library views make sense.
- Strip before sharing. Remove Info and XMP metadata when you do not want leftover document properties attached.
- Custom fields. Add or adjust extra Info-dictionary keys when a workflow expects them.
- Private and free. PDFPeach never uploads your file; edits stay on your device.
When to use Edit PDF Metadata
- Rename a misleading document title before sending to a client.
- Set author and keywords for internal document management systems.
- Clear producer/creator trails before publishing a public PDF.
- Add subject or custom fields required by a records or legal checklist.

- Custom key/value fields you add
What is not changed
Removing or editing metadata does not delete pages, annotations, or visible content — only document property data.
Frequently asked questions
What metadata can I change?
Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, plus other Info-dictionary fields in the file. You can also add custom key/value fields.
Does Remove all metadata delete page content?
No. It only clears document property fields (and XMP when present). The pages themselves are unchanged.
Will every app show my new title?
Most PDF readers and OS previews read the Title field. Some systems cache old names until you re-import the file.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Metadata editing on PDFPeach runs entirely in your browser.
