PDF Metadata Viewer
Inspect the hidden metadata stored inside a PDF, title, author, creation date, and the software that created it, without uploading the file anywhere.
About this pdf metadata viewer
Every PDF carries hidden metadata you do not see while reading it, who created it, when, and with what software. This tool surfaces that information instantly.
How pdf metadata viewer works
The tool reads the document properties embedded in the PDF file itself and displays whichever fields are present: title, author, subject, creator application, producer, and creation date.

What to know before using it
Not every PDF has every field filled in, some creators leave metadata blank, in which case this tool will show "(not set)" for that field.
Privacy and browser-first processing
Your PDF is read entirely inside your browser tab and is never uploaded to this server.
Frequently asked questions
Why are some fields blank?
Not every PDF creator fills in every metadata field. A blank field means that information was never set in the original file, not that the tool failed to read it.
