Edit metadata FAQ

Why does my PDF show the wrong title in browsers and Google?

Browsers and search engines read the PDF's Title property. Set it here and re-upload the file to your site.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. pdfy processes your files inside your browser using your own device. Local tools do not upload documents. If you choose Save draft, that draft is stored only in this browser. You can confirm it in your browser's network panel: no file is ever sent.

Is it really free? Are there limits?

Yes, it is free with no sign up, no watermark on your output and no daily task limit. Because your device does the work, the only practical limit is your device's memory.
