How to view pdf metadata in 3 steps

  1. Add the PDF

    The file is parsed locally.

  2. Read the report

    All metadata fields are listed with their values.

  3. Decide what to do

    Remove the sensitive fields, or edit them.

Before a document leaves your organisation you usually want one of two things: a lock on it, or the traces removed from it. View Metadata applies that change locally, which matters because the file and the password never travel over the network. Keep an unencrypted master copy — passwords on PDFs are easy to lose.

No account, no email, no credit card, no trial to remember.

View Metadata FAQ

What do I get back after using View Metadata?

You get a readable metadata report.

Is this tool really free?

Yes. Every tool here is free with no account, no trial and no watermark. There is no daily limit and no paywalled export — the whole toolkit is open source.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. View Metadata runs in your browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your one PDF are processed on your device and nothing is uploaded for this tool. That matters for contracts, invoices, IDs and anything under an NDA.

Does it work on a phone, and can I use it offline?

Yes. The page works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone, and once it has loaded it keeps working with no connection.
