How to use
- Click the drop zone to browse, or drag a PDF file onto it.
- Wait a moment while the file is read in your browser.
- Review the metadata fields shown: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, pages, and file size.
- Use Copy details to put all fields on your clipboard, or Reset to load another file.
Examples
- A report saved with the title Quarterly Report and author Jane Doe shows Title: Quarterly Report, Author: Jane Doe, Pages: 3.
- A PDF exported from a design app shows Producer set to the exporting library, while Title and Author read Not set.
- A scanned document shows the page count and file size, with most text fields reading Not set.
FAQs
- Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
- No. The file is read entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, so your document stays on your device.
- What does Not set mean next to a field?
- It means that property was never written into the PDF. Many tools leave fields like title or author empty, so Not set is normal.
- What is the difference between Creator and Producer?
- Creator is usually the application that authored the original document. Producer is the library or tool that wrote out the final PDF file. They are often different.
- Why does the file size differ from what my operating system shows?
- The size shown here is the exact byte length of the file you selected. Some systems display sizes rounded to the nearest unit, which can look slightly different.
- Can this open password protected PDFs?
- No. Encrypted or password protected files cannot be read here. Remove the protection in a PDF viewer first, then try again.
- Does viewing the metadata change my file?
- No. The file is only read, never modified or saved. Your original PDF is left exactly as it was.
