03 · WHAT YOU GET
Thorough, and honest about scope.
Every feature below runs on your device. See how the engines work.
XMP everywhere
Document-level and object-level XMP packets are deleted, including unreachable leftovers from earlier edits.
Content preserved
Text, images, links, annotations, form fields and attachments are untouched.
Not redaction
Metadata cleaning does not remove names typed inside the document or hidden layers. Use redaction tools for content.
Does this remove text I typed in the document?
No. Only metadata is removed. Text, comments and hidden layers stay as they are.
Will the file size shrink?
Usually a little, since XMP packets and orphaned objects are dropped.
Why do I still see a title in my viewer?
Some viewers display the first heading or the file name when no title metadata exists. Open the document properties to confirm the fields are empty.
