! Page content, fonts and images are untouched — this only clears the document info.
! Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked first.

What exactly gets removed?

Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, modification date and the XMP metadata stream.

Will the layout change?

No. Nothing is re-rendered.

Does this remove text hidden under black boxes?

No — that needs true redaction, which is a different tool.

Processing happens in your browser using the File API, WebAssembly and Web Workers. There is no upload endpoint.

Inspect a PDF author, producer, creation date and XMP data.
