The Hidden Danger Inside PDF: Metadata

When you create or edit any PDF file, your computer saves confidential Metadata (EXIF) within the document, which includes author name, creation date, software version, company name, and sometimes device information. Especially when sharing official documents, legal documents, financial statements or petitions that must remain anonymous, this data can seriously jeopardize your or your organization's privacy. Pdfoni Metadata Cleaner permanently destroys all this traceable XML and catalog data in the background with a single click, without ever damaging the visual structure and texts of your document.

100% Privacy and Superior Security Standards

As Pdfoni, we never save your documents within the framework of KVKK and GDPR compliance. When you upload your file, the system processes the data in RAM with 256-bit AES encryption. When you download your cleaned file, your data in the system will be completely destroyed within 2 hours. If you want to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing your file, you can maximize your document security by using our PDF Encryption or PDF Blackout (Censorship) tools to censor specific sections.

How Does It Work? Libraries and Technology

This tool uses powerful cloud-based engines to dig deep into the PDF Catalog of your document, delete XMP Metadata streams and completely empty the DocumentInfo table. It never touches the page structure, tables or graphics of your PDF document, it just resets the trace meta tags. Don't leave your privacy to chance, be sure to clean your file before sharing!
