NilPDF Scrub erases all hidden identity data from your PDF before you share it — author name, software used, edit timestamps, and XMP fields. Everything is processed locally; your document never touches a server. A clean PDF with no identifying metadata downloads in seconds.

100% private. Your files are processed entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded to any server. NilPDF has no backend — there is no server to send your files to.
