PDF Metadata Viewer
View a PDF's document properties - title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation and modification dates, page count, and file size - right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
What you can see
Title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, producer, creation date, modification date, page count, and file size are all read directly from the PDF's document properties.
Why metadata matters
Metadata can reveal what software created a document, when it was last edited, and whether sensitive author or company details are embedded before you share a file.
Fully private
Metadata is read entirely in your browser using pdf-lib - your file is never sent to a server.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Assuming a blank field means the PDF has no metadata at all
Solution:
Many PDF creators leave fields like Title or Subject empty by default - a dash just means that field wasn't set.
Forgetting to check metadata before sharing a sensitive document
Solution:
Author names, company names, and software versions in metadata can leak more than the visible content does - check before sharing externally.
Frequently Asked Questions
No - this tool is read-only. It displays existing metadata but does not modify the file.
Not if the PDF requires a password to open - it can't be read in the browser without it.
