No. Everything runs in your browser - your file never leaves your device. How this is verifiable
PDF files often carry invisible metadata: author name, the software used, creation and modification dates, sometimes a title and keywords. Sharing a document hands these along unintentionally. This tool removes them entirely, locally in your browser - or sets title, author, subject and keywords deliberately.
By default all info fields are cleared and the timestamps set to a neutral value (privacy first). Turn off "Remove all metadata" to enter your own values instead - empty fields are then left unchanged. The actual page content is never altered.
Honestly framed: on saving, the PDF library technically writes its own Producer entry and a fresh modification date; but personal details from the original stay removed. XMP metadata streams in embedded objects are not covered by this version.

Limitations: Edits the document info fields (title, author, subject, keywords) and can remove them entirely. "Remove all" takes precedence over entered values. On saving the PDF library sets its own Producer + a fresh date; embedded XMP streams are not touched. Open password-protected PDFs first with "Unlock PDF".
