No PDF is sent to Frisbly servers.
Frisbly PDF Cleaner handles the selected document in the browser session and avoids a server upload route for cleanup or optimization. The workspace does not require account identifiers, document text extraction, filenames, or owner metadata for analytics. A new output file is generated locally for download. Automatic cleanup reduces common metadata and annotation exposure, but sensitive PDFs should still be manually reviewed before distribution.

How to use it
- 1
Open one local PDF
Choose the PDF from your device and let the browser workspace inspect available document properties. The source file remains in the local session.
- 2
Review metadata and cleanup options
Check whether document properties or page annotations should be removed before sharing. This helps reduce hidden names, dates, comments, and draft markers.
- 3
Run cleanup or optimization
Choose metadata cleanup, annotation removal, basic optimization, or the combined workflow that fits the document's sharing purpose.
- 4
Use the result in another cleaner task
If the first pass prepares a better input, continue with another cleanup or optimization step while staying in the same workspace.
- 5
Download and compare
Save the output, compare size and page appearance, and confirm no required visible content changed before replacing or distributing the cleaned copy.

FAQ
Does PDF Cleaner upload the document?
No. The selected PDF stays in the browser session and the cleaned or optimized output is generated locally for download instead of being processed by a remote service.
How is this different from metadata cleanup?
PDF Cleaner combines metadata cleanup and basic optimization in one workspace. Use the single metadata tool when you only need document property or annotation cleanup.
How is this different from PDF basic optimization?
The cleaner lets you inspect metadata and choose cleanup options alongside optimization. Use the single optimization tool when you only need a light re-save pass.
Is cleanup complete privacy protection?
No. It reduces common document properties and supported annotations, but visible page content and unusual embedded data still require manual review before sharing.
Will the original PDF be changed?
No. Frisbly creates a new cleaned or optimized PDF for download. Your source file remains unchanged on your device for records or another pass.
