PDF Metadata Editor
Inspect and correct the hidden information stored in a PDF: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and creation date. Useful before publishing, when a document shows up in search under a filename instead of a real title.
Separate with commas.
How pdf metadata editor works
- Upload the PDFFurtu reads the document information dictionary and shows what is currently stored.
- Edit the fieldsChange any of the standard properties. Empty fields are cleared rather than left blank.
- Download the corrected fileThe pages are identical; only the stored properties differ.
What you get
Read and change the title, author, subject and keywords inside a PDF. Everything happens inside this page: the file is read by your browser, transformed in memory and handed straight back to you as a download. There is no upload queue, no waiting for a server, and nothing left behind when you close the tab.
Supported formats
Furtu accepts .pdf files up to 500 MB each — one file at a time.
- Every file is checked against its real file signature, not just its name, so a renamed or corrupt file is rejected with an explanation instead of failing halfway through.
- Files over the limit are refused up front rather than after a long wait.
Limitations, stated up front
- Custom XMP metadata streams are preserved but not edited.
- Some scanners write per-page metadata that Furtu leaves untouched.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my PDF show a filename as its title?
Most programs only write a title if you set one. When the field is empty, readers fall back to the filename. Setting a real title is the single most useful thing you can do for how a document appears in search and in reader sidebars.
Does editing metadata re-encode the pages?
No. Only the document information dictionary is rewritten. Page content is copied untouched, so there is no quality change.
Do I have to fill in every field?
No. Only the fields you type in are changed, so a partially completed form never blanks out properties it did not mention. If nothing you typed differs from what the document already has, Furtu tells you rather than writing a file that looks like it changed.
