Why use it
What this free tool does
JavaScript

Embedded files
Attachments hidden inside the PDF.
Auto-run actions
Anything that runs when the PDF opens or a page is viewed.

XFA and metadata
Hidden form data and, optionally, metadata.
Optional: web links
Remove links to websites too.
Why sanitize?
Most PDFs are harmless, but the format can carry scripts, attachments and actions that run automatically. Organisations often sanitize PDFs from outside before opening them, and before publishing their own.
Sanitizing keeps the pages exactly as they look. Interactive features that rely on scripts, such as calculated form fields, stop working.
Tip: Want to remove hidden details like the author too? Tick Metadata, or use Remove Metadata.

Most online PDF sites upload your documents to their servers. Aleynray Ai does the work inside your browser instead, on your own computer or phone.
Nothing is sent anywhere, so contracts, bank statements, IDs and medical forms stay private, and there is no waiting for uploads.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as risky content?
JavaScript, embedded files, actions that run automatically, and actions that launch programs, open other files or submit data.
Will the PDF look different?
No. What's on the pages stays the same.
Is it safe to open a suspicious PDF here?
The tool reads the file without running any of its scripts, and works entirely in your browser.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no limit on files and no watermark.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your web browser and works on the file on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so private documents stay private.
