PDF Title & Author Editor

Change the title, author, subject and other document properties of a PDF. The XMP packet that Acrobat and other apps read is set to the same values, so old names are less likely to show. Page content stays as it is, and nothing is uploaded.

What to change

When “Clear” is on, the field is emptied and its input is not used.

Shown as the name in the browser tab and in Acrobat’s title bar.

An empty field leaves the value unchanged.

An empty field leaves the value unchanged.

An empty field leaves the value unchanged.

The name of the app that made the original document.

The name of the converter that saved the PDF. An empty field leaves the value unchanged.

Each file gets its own name (without .pdf) as its title.

For example ja, en or en-US. An empty field leaves the value unchanged.

Enter a date and time to set it. “Clear” empties it.

Name shown in tabs and title bars

With “Show title”, browser tabs and Acrobat’s title bar show the title instead of the file name.

Page text, pages and images are not changed. The XMP packet (extra information that Acrobat and other apps read) is brought in line with the Info values too.

Change a PDF’s title and author and set its XMP to match

  1. Drop PDFs or click “Choose files” (multiple allowed). The current document information and XMP are shown.

  2. Enter new values under “What to change”. Empty fields are left as they are; tick “Clear” to empty a field.

  3. Click “Set titles from file names” to use each file’s name as its title.

  4. Click “Edit and save”. The saved file is read back and the values before and after are compared in a table.

  5. Download the single file, or each file / all as a ZIP. Files are named “name_edited.pdf”.

What it does

Info and XMP set to the same values

Eight properties, such as title and author, are written to both Info and XMP, so Acrobat is less likely to show an old XMP value.

Before and after compared

The saved file is read back, and the values before and after are shown side by side. Any item that does not match what was written is reported.

Tab and title-bar name

With “Show title”, browser tabs and Acrobat’s title bar show the title instead of the file name.

Japanese and emoji

Titles and other fields keep Japanese and emoji. This tool’s name is not written as the producer.

Batch and fully local

Edit several PDFs in turn and save them one by one or as a ZIP. Files are never uploaded or sent to a server.

Use cases

  • Replace an internal title or author name with the official one before sending a quote or report
  • Show a title that differs from the file name in browser tabs and Acrobat’s title bar
  • Add the same author name or keywords to many PDFs at once
  • Correct the created and modified dates to match the material

Limits & notes

  • Up to 300 MB per file. Multiple files are processed one at a time.
  • Each field holds up to 1,000 characters. Dates are written to the second, as PDF dates.
  • XMP packets up to 1 MB are read and written. You can choose whether to create XMP where a file has none.
  • The file is rewritten, so digital signatures become invalid. Incremental saving (keeping earlier versions) is not used, so earlier revisions are not carried over.
  • Works in phone and tablet browsers too. The before-and-after table is easier to read on a PC.

Privacy & safety

Loading, editing and saving all happen in your browser. Your PDF, its contents and file names are never sent to or stored on a server.

FAQ

How do I show the title instead of the file name in browser tabs?
Choose “Show title” under the name shown in tabs and title bars, enter a title and click “Edit and save”. Some browsers and Acrobat only update the name after the file is opened again.
An old author or title still shows in Acrobat. Why?
Acrobat can show the XMP packet instead of the Info values. This tool writes both with the same values, so open the edited PDF again to check.
How do I remove the author name or other information?
Tick “Clear” for the field. To remove author names, edit history and comments together, use the metadata cleaner, which lets you check what is removed.
Can I edit a digitally signed PDF?
Yes, but the signature becomes invalid because the file is rewritten. Edit first, then sign again.
Can the title contain Japanese or emoji?
Yes. Titles are written as UTF-16, so Japanese text and emoji are kept as typed.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser and your PDF never leaves your device.

PDF Metadata Cleaner

Before you share a PDF, see and remove the hidden personal data in it: author name, comment authors, attachments and more. Compare items before and after, and process many files at once. Nothing is uploaded.

No upload

PDF Editor

Lay text (Japanese included), shapes, arrows, a highlighter, freehand drawing and images on top of a PDF, and fill in its form fields. Text, shapes, highlights and freehand strokes are written as PDF vectors and real text, never as pictures; an added image is embedded as an image. Rewriting the original text and true redaction are not possible.

Add a password to open your PDF and encrypt it with AES 256-bit. If you forget the password nobody can open the file, so note it down before saving. Neither the PDF nor the password ever leaves your browser.
