PDF Metadata Viewer
Inspect title, author, producer and document properties of a PDF
Every PDF carries hidden properties: who created it, which software produced it, when it was made and what it is about. Inspecting them is useful for forensics, SEO audits and document hygiene.
How to read PDF metadata
- Upload the PDF.
- Convert to read the properties as structured JSON.
- Download the JSON if you need a record.
Fields you will see
- Title, author, subject and keywords.
- Creator and producer applications.
- Creation and modification timestamps.
- Page count and document identifiers.
Frequently asked questions
Does it show hidden content?
No - it reports document properties, not deleted text or layers.
Can metadata leak information?
Yes - author names and software paths are a common leak. Use the metadata editor to clean them before publishing.
Is the file uploaded?
Yes, temporarily, because metadata is read by the server-side PDF engine. It is deleted right after processing.
