How our local viewer works
1
Select a file
Drag and drop or pick a file. Transfers stay on your device - nothing is uploaded to MetaRemove servers.
2
Parse metadata only
We read headers, EXIF blocks, PDF info dictionaries, Office properties, or media tags without changing file content.
3
Review grouped results
Timestamps, authorship, location, device, and technical fields are grouped so you can spot privacy risks quickly.
What metadata can you view?
- Document Info fields: title, author, subject, keywords
- Producer and creator applications
- Creation and modification dates in PDF-date format
- XMP packages including custom fields and PDF/A indicators
- C2PA / Content Credentials markers when they are readable in the PDF
Frequently asked questions
What PDF metadata can I view?
The legacy Info dictionary (/Title, /Author, /Subject, /Keywords, /Creator, /Producer, /CreationDate, /ModDate), the XMP metadata stream, and C2PA or JUMBF markers when they are readable in the file.
Does this modify my PDF?
No. The viewer only reads properties - content, pages, and comments are not changed.
Can PDF metadata leak personal info?
Yes. The /Author field often defaults to your OS username, and dates may include timezone hints. Review before sharing externally.
Can a PDF from Claude include Content Credentials?
Some generative tools attach C2PA Content Credentials to exported files. This viewer reports C2PA or JUMBF markers when they are readable. Compressed streams can hide a manifest, so a miss is not a forensic guarantee.
Can I remove PDF metadata after viewing?
Yes. MetaRemove removes author, comments, document properties and C2PA Content Credentials from PDF files with a subscription. Compressed streams can hide a leftover marker, so a miss is not a forensic guarantee.
