Drag & drop your PDF here, or click to choose. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Document properties

Every PDF carries metadata: who created it, which software produced it, when it was written and last modified, and whether it is encrypted. This free PDF metadata viewer reads all of it in your browser and lays it out in one readable list. Nothing is uploaded, which matters here — metadata often contains names, file paths and organisation details you may not want to share.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the PDF Metadata Viewer tool?

Drop your PDF onto the box above (or click to choose one) and the result appears straight away — there is no button to press and nothing to upload. You can copy the output to your clipboard or download it as a file.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened and processed directly in your browser using JavaScript, and never leaves your device — nothing is sent to a server at any point. That is what makes it safe for contracts, invoices, medical records and other confidential documents, and it is why the tool still works with your network disconnected.

Why does PDF metadata matter?

It frequently reveals more than people expect: the author’s real name, internal file paths, the software and version used, and exactly when the document was created or edited. Before sharing a PDF publicly it is worth checking what these fields say, since they travel with the file everywhere it goes.

Is there a file size or page limit?

There is no limit imposed by us, because nothing is uploaded — the only real constraint is your device’s memory. Documents of a few hundred pages are fine on a normal computer; very large scanned files are more comfortable on a desktop browser than on a phone.

Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android with nothing to install and no account needed. Once the page has loaded it keeps working offline, so you can use it on a plane or a locked-down network.
