Will this change how the PDF looks?

No. Metadata is document properties only—page content is unchanged.

Is metadata removed from the file stream completely when I clear a field?

Cleared fields are written as empty/updated values via @cantoo/pdf-lib. For forensic scrubbing of all hidden data, use a dedicated PDF sanitizer.

Do you upload my file?

No. Metadata editing runs on-device.
