Word DOCX Metadata Editor Tutorial

Why edit DOCX metadata?

Word documents carry hidden metadata: author name, company, last modified by, even the original template. When you share a document with a client or post it online, all of that goes with it.

  • Privacy: Strip your name, company, or organization before sharing externally
  • Whitelabel: Replace internal author info with your client's name
  • Compliance: Legal/HR teams often require metadata cleanup before delivery
  • Forensics protection: Avoid leaking who edited a document and when

How does it work?

A .docx file is just a ZIP archive containing XML files. The metadata lives in docProps/core.xml (Dublin Core fields) and docProps/app.xml (Office-specific fields). This tool reads those XML files, lets you edit the values, and rebuilds the .docx with the new metadata. Your document content is never touched.

Editable fields

Core properties (Dublin Core):

  • title, subject, creator (author)
  • keywords, description (comments)
  • lastModifiedBy, revision
  • created, modified dates (W3CDTF)
  • category, contentStatus, language

Extended properties (Office-specific):

  • Application, AppVersion, Company, Manager
  • Template, TotalTime
  • Word counts: Pages, Words, Characters

Leave a field blank to remove it entirely. Use the "Strip all" preset to wipe author info in one click.
