How the browser process works

Inspect title, author, producer, dates, page count and page sizes of any PDF. The page sends the selected file and settings to its pdf-metadata browser engine, creates a new output and downloads it without overwriting the source.

Privacy, quality checks and limitations

  • Keep the original file until the downloaded output has been opened and checked.
  • Verify page count, orientation, dimensions, text legibility, audio/video duration and metadata relevant to your use.
  • Browser-local processing reduces routine upload exposure, but your device, browser extensions and download location still matter.
  • A converted preview is not proof of legal authenticity, archival compliance, accessibility or digital-signature validity.

Inspect PDF properties and metadata directly in the browser. The report can include title, author, creator, producer, dates, page count, page dimensions, rotation, keywords, and encryption status.
