Sanitize PDF
Remove JavaScript, embedded files, external actions, comments and metadata without claiming malware detection.
Sanitize PDF online, free and private
PDFs can contain scripts, embedded files, automatic actions, external actions and hidden metadata. Sanitization removes those interactive surfaces and can also remove annotations and forms.
The complete workflow runs locally in your browser. Your source file is not sent to PDFToolz or stored on a server.
How to sanitize pdf in your browser
- 1
Add your source
Choose a local file or use the direct-input controls shown in the workspace.
- 2
Review the options
Choose whether comments, links, metadata and interactive forms should also be removed. JavaScript, embedded-file registries and automatic actions are always targeted.
- 3
Sanitize the structure
Run the tool, review the completion summary, then save the generated file or report to your device.
Why use PDFToolz for this
On-device processing
PDF parsing, rendering and export happen in browser memory, without an upload step.
Clear scope
This is structural sanitization, not malware detection. Treat unexpected or untrusted files cautiously even after cleanup.
No account required
Use the tool without signup, a trial, a watermark or a server-side file quota.
Built for real documents
Progress feedback, device-memory limits and output descriptions make the result predictable before download.
