QBMFX Remove PDF metadata
Remove ordinary descriptive metadata from a PDF before sharing it. Save a copy and inspect the result, especially when a source file contains an old author name or internal title. This targets metadata structures rather than visible page text, so information written inside a page must be reviewed through a separate workflow. Book centers, freelancers and developers can use this free local workspace without a login or paid conversion API. Keep the original and inspect the downloaded result.
Choose your files and review the settings.
Keep originals and inspect the result before printing. File changes clear previous downloads. Heavy image and OCR work can take longer on a phone.
Using Remove PDF metadata
- Choose the PDF whose descriptive metadata should be removed.
- Create the cleaned copy.
- Inspect its document properties and visible content.
Behind the result
Supported document information entries and XMP metadata are removed from the rewritten PDF while its page content is preserved.
Free tools for everyday work
Book centers, photocopy shops, freelancers and developers can use this workspace without a paid plan or account. Files are processed locally. Prepare website resources from offline setup before disconnecting; Urdu/OCR also needs the separate pack above.
The Windows app currently includes the original four tools. The expanded tools are available on the website; app and extension updates will be separate releases.
Answers and practical details
Privacy review
Check the complete document before sharing. Removing an Author field does not remove a name printed on a page.
Price and accounts
This website workflow is free without a login, subscription or paid conversion tier. Your browser supplies the processing memory and CPU.
Local file handling
Selected documents and generated results are processed on your device. QBMFX does not upload them to a conversion server or save them in a customer database. Hosting, advertising and opening external links are separate network activity.
Offline preparation
Prepare the supported website resources while connected, wait for the ready status and test the workflow before disconnecting. OCR, advanced PDF processing or fonts can need an additional local resource pack. Browser cleanup can remove saved resources.
Installed app availability
The Microsoft Store app and Edge package currently contain the original four tools. Website additions require a separate installed-package release and do not update those packages automatically.
