Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about editing PDF metadata online for free.

What is PDF metadata?
PDF metadata (also called document properties) is information stored inside the PDF file that describes it — including the title, author, subject, keywords, the application that created it, and creation/modification dates. It is not visible in the document body but can be read by search engines, document managers and PDF readers like Adobe Acrobat.
Will editing metadata change my PDF content?
No. Editing metadata only updates the document property fields stored in the PDF. The pages, text, images, fonts and layout of your document remain completely unchanged.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. QwikPDF processes everything entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your files never leave your device, making it completely safe for sensitive and confidential documents.
Can I remove all metadata from a PDF?
Yes. Click Clear All Fields inside any file card to wipe all metadata fields at once. The downloaded PDF will have no title, author, subject, keywords, creator or producer values.
What metadata fields can I edit?
You can edit all 8 standard PDF metadata fields: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator (the application that authored the document), Producer (the PDF library used to create it), Creation Date and Modification Date.
Does editing PDF keywords help with SEO?
Some search engines, including Google, read PDF metadata when indexing documents. A well-written title and relevant keywords in the metadata can help your PDF appear in search results. The title field in particular can influence how the document is listed in search engine results pages.
