Clear Form Fields - Free Online Browser Tool

Reset and wipe all form field inputs back to empty.

A shared form full of the previous person’s answers is a privacy problem and an accuracy problem. This tool wipes every field back to empty while leaving the form structure completely intact, so the document is still a usable blank form.

This clear form fields utility runs completely inside your web browser. Your document is opened locally and processed on your own device using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded to any server. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many documents you can handle.

  • 100% client-side - files never leave your device
  • Instant processing, no upload wait
  • Works on desktop, tablet and mobile
  • Free forever, no account required

How to Use the Clear Form Fields Tool

Four steps, and the whole thing runs locally on your own device.

  1. Load the completed form

    Drop in the PDF containing entries you want to remove.

  2. Clear all fields

    Every text field is emptied and all checkboxes and radio selections are reset to their unselected state.

  3. Verify what remains

    The field definitions, labels and layout are untouched — only the values are gone, so the form is still fillable.

  4. Download the blank form

    Save the cleaned document and hand it to whoever needs to complete it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does clearing remove the fields themselves?

No. The field objects, names and layout are preserved — only their values are reset. Use Flatten Forms if you actually want to convert fields into plain text.

Is this enough to make a form anonymous?

It removes the entered answers, but metadata such as author and timestamps can persist. Run Remove / Clean Metadata as well if the document is leaving your organisation.

Are the fields still fillable after clearing?

Yes, completely. They behave exactly as they did in the original, just with empty starting values.

Can I clear only some fields?

This tool clears the document as a whole. To clear individual fields, do it directly in a reader that supports annotation and form editing.

Does clearing reduce the file size?

Slightly, since the stored value strings are removed. Field definitions remain, so the reduction is modest rather than dramatic.
