When to edit PDF metadata
Clean metadata makes documents findable: a proper title shows up in file listings and search results, and keywords help you locate the file later.
Updating the author or title is also the right fix when a document inherited wrong details from a template or an export.
Why edit PDF metadata in your browser
Editing runs locally, so the document and its details never leave your device. No upload, no sign-up.
Free in the browser on any device. The PDF Shrink iPhone app provides the same local tools offline.
