REMOVE HIDDEN INFO

Share the document, not its history.

PDFs can carry the author's name, the app that made them, attached files, scripts and even earlier saved versions. See what's there, then remove it.

How it works

  1. Add a PDF. Perged lists the hidden information it finds.
  2. Choose what to remove: properties and metadata, attachments, scripts, editing data, and optionally comments and bookmarks.
  3. Create the file. It's rewritten from scratch, which also drops earlier saved versions.

Private by design

Your files are opened in your browser's memory and processed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored after you clear the workspace or close the tab.

Questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

Your files are opened in your browser's memory and processed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored after you clear the workspace or close the tab.

What are “earlier saved versions”?

Some apps save changes by adding to the end of the file, leaving the previous version inside it. Anyone with the right tools can recover that older wording. Rewriting the file removes it.

Does it work offline?

Yes. After your first visit, Perged keeps a copy of itself in your browser, so it keeps working without an internet connection. You can also install it as an app from your browser's menu.

LOCAL BY DESIGN

Your documents stay with you.

Perged reads files into your browser's memory and creates downloads on your device. It does not upload documents, save them to an account, or send document analytics.

Locked PDFs: files locked against editing are opened as page images so they can be worked on; their text isn't selectable in the output. Files that need a password to open aren't supported.

The website and its bundled libraries load from the host. File processing happens locally. Clear the workspace or close the tab to release the documents from this session.

Local processing reduces exposure, but your device, browser extensions and downloaded copies still need your usual security practices.

Works offline: after your first visit, Perged keeps a copy of itself in your browser, so the tools keep working without an internet connection. You can also install it as an app from your browser's menu.

Redaction: pages you mark become images with the covered pixels removed, which also removes selectable text, links and forms from those pages. Unmarked pages are kept as they are unless they share content with a marked page; you can also choose to flatten every page. Always review the downloaded copy before sharing.

Signatures: visual signatures only, added on top of the original page; no certificate signing or identity verification.
