Sanitize PDF
One click strips the risky, leaky parts of a PDF — scripts, auto-run actions, embedded files, annotations, and metadata. Nothing leaves your browser.
Why Sanitize a PDF?
PDFs can contain much more than pages: JavaScript that runs when the file opens, actions that launch when a page is viewed, whole embedded files riding along invisibly, and metadata naming the author and the software they used. That's why security-conscious organizations sanitize documents from unknown sources before opening them — and sanitize their own before publishing.
Ironically, most online sanitizers ask you to upload the very file you don't trust — or don't want anyone else to see. This one runs entirely in your browser and shows you a report of exactly what it found and removed.

FAQ
Does sanitizing change how the PDF looks?
No — page content is untouched. Only invisible machinery (scripts, actions, attachments, metadata) and, optionally, annotations are removed.
Does this hide sensitive text on the pages?
No — for visible content you want gone, use Redact PDF, which physically removes it.
