Free PDF Attachment Manager: View & Remove Embedded Files from PDF Online

Do you need to remove the files embedded inside your PDF without regenerating the entire document? Whether you need to remove an outdated Excel sheet, a confusing attachment, or a contract addendum, our PDF Edit Attachments tool gives you full control over your document's metadata layer.
This tool is running securely in your browser (100% Client-Side Processing) using Client-Side technology. This tool works even if you disconnect from the internet after loading.

Why Manage Attachments via Browser?

  • 100% Private (Client-Side): We use advanced WebAssembly technology to process your PDF directly on your device. Your sensitive legal or financial documents are never uploaded to our servers.
  • Preserve Document Integrity: Editing attachments does not alter the visual layout, fonts, or digital signatures of your main PDF pages.
  • Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebooks instantly.

How to Edit PDF Attachments by Using Our PDF Attachment Manager?

Manage your embedded files in 3 easy steps:
  1. Select Your PDF: Drag and drop your document into the tool. The interface will immediately list all currently embedded files found in the PDF.
  2. Make Your Edits: Click the "Trash" icon next to an unwanted file.
  3. Save & Download: Click "Save Changes & Download". The tool will repackage the PDF structure and provide a download link for your updated document.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Q: Can I edit the text inside the attached files?
    A: No directly. You should first extract the attachment, edit it on your computer (e.g., in Excel or Word), and then use our "Add Attachments to PDF" tool to replace the old attachment with your edited version.
  • Q: Will removing attachments reduce the PDF file size?
    A: Yes! Embedded files often take up more space than the PDF pages themselves. Removing large attachments is an excellent way to compress your PDF.
  • Q: Is this the same as merging PDFs?
    A: No. Merging combines pages visually (Page 1 + Page 2). Adding an attachment embeds a file inside the PDF wrapper, accessible only via the attachments panel.
  • Q: Is it free to remove attachments?
    A: Yes, It allows you to view and remove attachments completely free of charge.
  • Q: Why is the process so fast?
    A: Because we don't upload your file to the cloud. Everything happens locally on your computer's processor, making it faster and safer than traditional server-based tools. We understand that PDFs often contain sensitive data. We prioritize user privacy ("Privacy-First Architecture").  Your documents and files never leave your device. We Don't upload, transfer, view, store, or share your data.
