Sanitize PDF
Share PDFs without the hidden baggage: strip metadata, embedded attachments and hidden data from your file, then download a clean copy ready to send safely.
The PDF is processed only in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Sanitization report
Note: this tool rebuilds the pages into a new PDF, which drops attachments, embedded files and form data.
Small annotations stuck on a page can sometimes survive — for highly sensitive documents use dedicated redaction software.
How to use
- Select your PDF file.
- Press "Sanitize PDF".
- Check the report and download the sanitized PDF.
What is hidden data in a PDF?
PDF files often hide metadata (author name, creating software, date), embedded files/attachments, form field data and comments. Cleaning these before sharing is important for privacy.
