## Before you start

This clears document properties and document/page XMP, not identifying information in page content, annotations or attachments. It is not redaction or a guarantee of anonymity. Editing a signed PDF can invalidate its signatures. Keep the original if you need its document properties.

Selected files are limited to 150 MB in total. Processing happens locally, and xfiles adds no branding watermark. No account or payment is required. [Read the privacy policy](https://xfiles.tech/privacy).
