PDF Metadata Viewer

Inspect the information a PDF stores about itself: its title, author, subject, keywords, the software that created it, when it was made and modified, and how many pages it contains. A quick read-only check, processed locally in your browser.

The file is read locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

How to use PDF Metadata Viewer

  1. Drop a PDF into the box or click to browse.
  2. The document’s properties are read and displayed.
  3. Review the title, author, dates, creator and page count.

About this tool

PDF files carry a set of properties describing the document — much like the EXIF data in a photo. This can reveal who made it, with what software, and when.

Viewing this metadata is useful for checking a document’s origin, confirming details before sharing, or simply understanding what information a file carries.

Frequently asked questions

What information is shown?
Title, author, subject, keywords, the creator and producer software, creation and modification dates, the page count, and whether the file is encrypted.
Does this change my PDF?
No. This tool only reads and displays the properties; your file is untouched.
Why does some metadata show as blank?
Many PDFs are created without a title, author or keywords. Fields the creator did not set simply appear empty.
Can I see who created a PDF?
If the author field was filled in when the file was made, it will be shown. Some creators also leave their name in the “producer” or “creator” software fields.
Is my document private?
Yes. The metadata is read entirely in your browser, so the contents of your PDF never leave your device.
