Strip the secrets
out of your PDFs.

Every PDF carries hidden metadata — your name, your software, your timestamps. MetaScrub edits or erases it entirely, right in your browser. The file never touches a server.

How it works

Four steps, zero accounts, nothing leaves your machine.

01

Drop a PDF

Drag a file in — or several. It loads straight into your browser tab.

02

Inspect

See every Info-dictionary and XMP field hiding inside, laid bare.

03

Edit or scrub

Rewrite fields, or wipe the lot with one click. Watch what gets removed.

04

Download

Save the clean copy. Nothing was ever uploaded anywhere.

The whole point

There is no server. So there's nothing to leak.

Online PDF tools upload your document to their servers to process it — even the private ones. MetaScrub doesn't. The entire engine runs in your browser tab, so your confidential PDF stays on your device from the moment you drop it to the moment you download the clean copy. Even the fonts are self-hosted: this page makes zero third-party network calls.
