Questions
What is PDF metadata?
Hidden fields saved in the file, such as the author’s name and when it was made. They travel with the PDF.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your browser, and the page is blocked from sending data anywhere. You can check by turning off your internet connection: it keeps working.
