PDF Metadata Viewer

PDF Metadata Viewer lets you preview a pdf locally in a clean browser reader. It runs entirely inside your browser so your files stay on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.

Yes. PDF Metadata Viewer is 100% free, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit. You can process as many PDFs as you want.

No. PDF Metadata Viewer is a web-based tool that works in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and Brave — on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

Yes. PDF Metadata Viewer processes every file on the client side using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded, stored or shared. Close the tab and it's gone.

Yes. PDF Metadata Viewer is fully responsive and works on Android phones, iPhones and iPads. Just open the page in your browser and pick a file.

We recommend files under 100 MB for the smoothest experience. Larger files may work but can slow down older devices because everything is processed in your browser.

PDF Metadata Viewer keeps the original quality wherever possible. Any quality trade-offs (for example when compressing or exporting to images) are clearly labelled and controlled by you.

You need internet to load the page the first time. After that, most processing happens locally in your browser — the PDF itself never travels over the network.

No. Files produced by PDF Metadata Viewer are clean, watermark-free and safe to share professionally or submit to official portals.

Yes. There are no licensing restrictions on the output — use it for freelance projects, agency work, client deliverables or internal business documents.

PDF Metadata Viewer supports standard PDF 1.4–1.7 files created by Word, Google Docs, Adobe Acrobat, printers, scanners and mobile apps. Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked first.

For security we don't process encrypted PDFs. Use our PDF Password Remover first (if you have the password), then run the file through PDF Metadata Viewer.

Yes — where it makes sense (for example merging or converting), PDF Metadata Viewer accepts multiple files at once and processes them in a single click.

Any Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera) or the latest Safari and Firefox will give the best speed. Older browsers may lack the modern APIs the tool relies on.

Structural features like bookmarks, hyperlinks and metadata are preserved wherever the operation allows. Conversions to image formats (JPG, PNG, PPT) naturally flatten these into pixels.

Most PDFs under 20 MB finish in a few seconds on a modern laptop or phone. Larger files take proportionally longer because everything is computed on your device.

PDF Metadata Viewer never modifies your original file — it creates a new PDF and downloads it. Your source file on disk stays exactly as it was.

We can't — nothing is uploaded. There are no server logs of your file names or contents because your PDF never leaves the browser tab.

For quick one-off jobs, PDF Metadata Viewer is faster: no install, no license, no waiting. Acrobat is still the choice for heavy editing workflows — PDF Metadata Viewer covers 90% of everyday needs.
