PDF Metadata Viewer
See who really wrote a PDF, what software produced it and when it was created or modified — without uploading the document anywhere.
PDFs carry a document information dictionary and often a full XMP packet: author name, company, creator software, producer, creation and modification dates, sometimes even the path of the original Word file. This PDF metadata viewer parses the file locally and shows every field in a clean table.
It’s the fastest way to answer questions like “who actually authored this contract?”, “was this report really written in 2019?”, or “what tool generated this invoice?”. Because parsing happens in your browser, it’s safe to inspect confidential documents — nothing is uploaded, logged or stored.
Found something you’d rather not send along? Use the PDF metadata remover to blank every field and strip the XMP packet in one click.
Frequently asked questions
How do I view PDF metadata?
Drop the PDF into the tool above. It reads the document info dictionary (Title, Author, Creator, Producer, dates) plus page count, entirely in your browser.
Can PDF metadata reveal the author?
Very often, yes. PDFs exported from Word, Google Docs or Acrobat typically embed the account or licence name of the person who created them in the Author field.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The file is parsed with the pdf-lib JavaScript library inside your browser. It never leaves your device.
