About this tool
PDF Metadata Editor lets you set the document properties — title, author, and keywords — that show up in a PDF reader’s “Properties” panel and in search results. It is the finishing step for a professional file: a clear title and author make a document easier to find and trust, and keywords help it surface in local searches. The tool edits these fields in your browser, so the document never leaves your device. You type the values, the tool writes them into the file with pdf-lib, and a new version downloads. Your page content is untouched — only the properties change. No account, no upload. For anyone publishing or archiving PDFs, correct metadata is a small touch that makes a real difference in how the file is identified and retrieved later.
Metadata is the quiet label that makes a PDF findable later. A consultant sets a clear title and author so the file shows up correctly in a client’s document library. An archivist adds keywords so a scanned record surfaces in search. A publisher stamps title and author on a manuscript before distribution. A business tags reports with consistent keywords for retrieval. A homeowner names a permit PDF so it is not just “document1.” Without it, files blur together; with it, the right document is one search away. Editing locally keeps the document — possibly confidential — on your device, and only the properties change, never the content. It is a small, private finishing step that pays off every time you later hunt for the file. A few seconds of labeling now saves minutes of searching later, and the page content itself is never altered. Consistent keywords across a document set also make a whole folder searchable instead of a pile of unnamed files.
How it works & privacy
Enter the title, author, and keywords (comma-separated) and press Run. The tool opens your PDF in the browser with pdf-lib, writes the metadata, and downloads the updated file. Nothing is uploaded. Only the document properties change; the page content stays exactly as it was.
