Deep Clean PDF - Remove All History

Extracts the real text and images from a PDF and rebuilds it completely from scratch, which discards prior revision history, hidden layers and leftover metadata a typical metadata-field remover wouldn't touch - not just the visible Title/Author fields.

How this differs from a metadata remover: instead of just clearing title/ author/producer fields, every page's real text and images are extracted and used to build a brand-new PDF from nothing with pdf-lib. Nothing from the original file's internal structure carries over, so prior revision history, hidden layers and non-standard metadata have nothing left to hide in.

Questions fréquentes

How is this different from a regular "remove PDF metadata" tool?

A typical metadata remover clears fields like Title, Author or Creation Date but leaves the file's original internal structure intact - which can still carry incremental-save history, hidden layers or leftover objects from previous edits. This tool rebuilds the PDF from its extracted content instead of editing the original file, so none of that carries over.

Will my document still look the same?

Text and embedded images are faithfully reproduced. Complex vector graphics (unusual shapes, gradients, some drawing operations) aren't reconstructed pixel-for-pixel, the same honest limitation already stated on this site's other "rebuild from scratch" tools.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No, extraction and rebuilding both happen entirely in your browser.
