What metadata does a PDF contain?
Common fields include author name, creation and modification dates, the application used to create it, subject, keywords, producer, and sometimes GPS coordinates from the originating device.
Metadata Audit
Read every metadata field embedded in a PDF — author name, creation date, editing software, revision history, and more — processed locally, nothing uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Why would I audit a PDF's metadata?
Before sharing a document externally, it is worth checking what it reveals — author names, internal application names, or revision histories that were not meant to be public.
Is the metadata audit free?
Yes. The tool reads the PDF structure locally in your browser and displays the results at no cost.
Can I remove the metadata after I have seen it?
Yes. Use the Remove Metadata tool to strip all fields before sharing.
Is it safe? Are my files uploaded?
These tools run locally in your browser — for supported local operations your files are not uploaded to a server. Processing the document on your own device avoids sending it to a third party.
