See exactly what a PDF says about where it came from — before you send it to someone.
Use PDF Metadata Viewer (interactive) — JavaScript required for uploads.
A PDF usually records the author name, the software that produced it, and creation and modification timestamps. Those often reveal a real name, an employer, or an internal tool — none of it visible on the page itself.
This tool only reports. To clear what it finds, run Remove PDF Metadata.
Yes, completely free and with no account.
No. It reads and reports; the PDF is untouched.
No — it reports document properties, not page content. To see the text, use PDF to Text.
This tool works entirely on this page. Your file is opened by JavaScript here, changed in memory, and handed straight back to you — it is never uploaded. Open your browser's Network tab while you use it and you will see nothing leave your device.
Because there is no server doing the work, there is no signup, no watermark, no file size limit, and no daily cap. Nothing is stored, because nothing is received.
