FAQ
What metadata do PDFs contain?
Typically author, creator app, creation/modification dates, and sometimes titles or keywords you never intended to share.
Is it safe for confidential documents?
Yes. Processing happens locally in your browser (client-side). You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and most tools keep working.
