Sanitize PDF — free, private, in your browser

Strip hidden metadata, JavaScript, embedded files and comments from a PDF. Unlike iLovePDF or Smallpdf, nothing is uploaded: the processing happens on your own device, so the tool works even with the Wi-Fi off.

Questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. CommandEditor runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly — your file never leaves your device. You can verify it: open your browser's network inspector, or switch off Wi-Fi after the page loads; the tool still works.

What hidden data does a PDF carry?

Author names, edit history, XMP metadata, embedded files, JavaScript actions and comments. Sanitize removes them before you share the file.
