How to use Sanitize PDF
- Choose or drag in your PDF.
- Tick what you want removed.
- Press Sanitize PDF and download the safe copy.
Strip everything that isn't the document
PDFs can carry scripts that run when the file opens, actions that launch websites, hidden attached files and personal metadata. Sanitize PDF removes them so you can safely share documents from unknown sources, or publish your own without leaking extra information. The visible pages stay the same.
Private by design
Sanitize PDF runs entirely in your browser. Your file is processed on your own device and is never uploaded to a server, there's no sign-up, and the result is ready to download as soon as it's done.
Questions
Is it safe to open a PDF after sanitizing?
It removes scripts and automatic actions, which are the common ways PDFs misbehave. Always keep your security software up to date as well.
Will links still work?
Internal links do. Tick “Links to websites” only if you want web links removed too.
Can I undo it?
No, so keep your original file.
