FreeRemove unused objects, metadata and junk from PDF files
About PDF Cleanup
Over a document's life, a PDF can accumulate clutter: orphaned objects, leftover metadata, and junk from repeated edits that bloat the file and may leak information you would rather not share. This cleanup tool strips that hidden cruft away.
Upload your PDF and the tool removes unused objects and stray metadata, returning a tidier, often smaller file. It runs in your browser, is free, and adds no watermark or signup. Your document is processed solely for this cleanup, so nothing about it is retained afterward.

FAQ
What kind of metadata gets removed?
It clears stray and unused metadata along with orphaned objects. This can reduce information you did not intend to share.
Will cleanup change how the document looks?
No, the visible pages stay the same. Cleanup targets hidden, unused data rather than your content.
Does it always make the file smaller?
Often, yes, especially for heavily edited files. The savings depend on how much junk has built up inside the PDF.
Can I use PDF Cleanup on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
