Supported variants & limits

File limits: 15 MB per file, up to 30 files, 40 megapixels per image, 200 pages per PDF, and a 20-second processing limit per operation.

Compatibility: Some complex or unsupported file variants may be rejected. Not every metadata field can be removed from every format.

HEIC (limited): Support covers eligible single-image files. Grids, sequences, depth and thumbnail items are outside this scope. Supported EXIF, XMP and C2PA containers can be removed without converting the image. Completed and unchanged copies can be included in ZIP, including unchanged HEIC copies. Changed HEIC copies have limited verification and are available as individual downloads. Preview availability depends on your browser.

Important: Removing metadata does not remove visible watermarks or guarantee that social platforms won't identify AI-generated content.

Remove PDF properties and XMP

Info can contain the author, title, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and creation and modification dates. XMP can store some of the same details separately. Cleanup clears each selected category in full. Selecting Info to remove the author also clears any title stored there.

  1. Use Choose files to add an eligible PDF. Inspection starts automatically. Open View technical details to review Info and Document-level XMP. Compressed XMP may be detected without displaying its values.

  2. Make sure your PDF is selected. In Cleanup scope, check Info, XMP, or both, then click Clean selected. To apply this scope only to your PDF, deselect other files in the workspace.

  3. Use Download new copy when it appears. Your original stays unchanged. Open Inspect File and add the downloaded PDF. Check for Not found in inspected structures in each category you cleared. If inspection fails, the copy still needs verification.

Which PDFs can be cleaned?

Use an unsigned, unencrypted PDF with up to 200 pages and a file size of 15 MB or less. Encrypted PDFs and PDFs with compressed object streams are unsupported. A PDF with a detected signature or signature field can be inspected if it otherwise loads. Complex or malformed files may be rejected. See supported formats and limits.

What can remain after cleanup?

PDF metadata cleanup is limited to document properties and document-level XMP. Redacting page content or sanitizing a PDF requires a separate workflow. Visible names, hidden text and layers, attachments, comments and annotations, form values, and metadata inside embedded images can remain. An author name removed from Info can still appear in a comment. Cleanup rewrites the PDF, but copies of old values can survive in retained content.
