PDF metadata checker
Short answer
Author names and document titles often ride along in PDF properties without appearing on any page. Drop your file into the privacy checker below — the metadata category shows what was found, with a full 0–100 privacy score. Clear it with Remove metadata or Deep Clean.
How it works
- 1
Drop your PDF into the privacy checker above — it stays in your browser.
- 2
Read the 0–100 privacy score and each checklist category.
- 3
Use the fix links (Redact, Auto-redact, Deep Clean, Confidential Send), then re-check before sharing.
Files never leave your device
Your PDF is processed in this browser tab. Files never leave your device, and mypdf.space does not receive uploads. No account, no watermark, no server-side copy.
Limits worth knowing
- Metadata is one category among six — also check covered text and PII.
- Best-effort parsing of Info and XMP blocks.
- Clearing metadata does not redact page content.

Use Remove metadata for Info/XMP, or Deep Clean for a broader strip including forms and embeds. Both run locally.Does the metadata checker upload my PDF?
No. Inspection stays in your browser.
