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
  • Security and permission flags when present

Frequently asked questions

What PDF metadata can I view?

The legacy Info dictionary (/Title, /Author, /Subject, /Keywords, /Creator, /Producer, /CreationDate, /ModDate) and the XMP metadata stream when present.

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 I remove PDF metadata after viewing?

Yes. MetaRemove removes author, comments, and document properties from PDF files with a subscription.
