Upload any PDF and instantly see a scored breakdown of every privacy risk — High, Medium, or Low — then choose exactly which fields to strip before downloading the clean copy.

Reading PDF structure...
Your file never leaves this tab.
The file may be password-protected, corrupted, or not a valid PDF.
No risky metadata fields were detected. This document is safe to share as-is.
Strip firm identity and author names before filing or sharing contracts with opposing counsel.
Verify source document authenticity. Check edit history and authorship of leaked files.

Ensure PDFs are GDPR-clean before external distribution.
Standard PDF metadata contains far more than you'd expect.
Everything runs in your browser using PDF.js (inspection) and pdf-lib (rewriting).
PDF.js parses XMP and DocInfo streams directly in your browser and surfaces every field with a Privacy Risk Score.
Toggle individual fields or strip all at once. See your score update in real time as you choose.
pdf-lib rewrites the PDF structure in memory and triggers a direct download. Your original is never modified.
