About Set Metadata
Update PDF title, author, subject, and keywords in seconds with this free browser-based metadata editor rewriting only the info dictionary safely, working instantly offline with no signup required ever for American offices, authors, students, admins, and archivists in Austin, Chicago, Miami, Denver, Seattle, and New York. Built for daily American workflows.
How metadata editing works in seconds: Select a PDF up to fifty megabytes, fill any combination of title, author, subject, and comma-separated keywords, then save a fresh copy with the info dictionary rewritten and all pages untouched. A $650 Austin ebook updates in seconds on 03/10/2026 without leaving the browser.
Which fields change what: Title feeds reader tabs and library listings, author fixes attribution, subject summarizes purpose for search, and keywords aid archival discovery across drives. Empty fields stay unchanged rather than blanking. A Chicago office repairing $4,400 of reports on 06/20/2026 logs each fix in USD batches.
Filenames, size, and content safety: Page text, images, and vectors carry over byte for byte while only document properties change, and the download defaults to a clear metadata-updated filename. Encrypted or oversized files report plain errors first. A Denver admin organizing a $2,100 archive on 07/15/2026 spot-checks two files per folder.
Privacy and local browser execution: Everything runs locally in your browser with zero uploads, so confidential documents stay on your device and never touch a server. There is no account, no tracking, and no logging at any step. Whether it is an Austin freelancer handling a $280 client file or a New York team processing a $10,500 production batch, the work stays private, free, and instantly offline with no signup required ever.
American workflow and everyday reliability: Chicago users run this metadata editor during a $4,400 project review dated 03/10/2026, Miami teams verify a $1,700 deliverable before the 06/20/2026 deadline, and Denver and Seattle colleagues recheck results ahead of 07/15/2026. Amounts stay in USD with plain formatting, dates use MM/DD/YYYY, and a 09/15/2026 audit pass confirms the same output twice. It is a small, dependable step that fits any checklist.
Nationwide compliance and repeatable routine: Austin teams file a $2,400 example on 03/10/2026 and recheck it before 06/20/2026, Chicago managers approve a $6,800 batch ahead of 07/15/2026, and Miami, Denver, Seattle, and New York colleagues repeat the same pass before 09/15/2026 with every amount tracked in USD. The routine stays identical each quarter because local execution removes server variance, free access removes budget friction, and plain outputs remove ambiguity for reviewers. New hires learn the flow in minutes, veterans trust it under deadline pressure, and auditors accept the repeatable trail without extra tooling or follow-up meetings across departments. Each rerun finishes in seconds with identical formatting, so monthly reviews compare cleanly across seasons and leadership sees stable numbers. Support tickets drop because everyone follows the same documented clicks.
