PDF metadata and page size viewer

Check a PDF’s title, author, dates, page sizes and orientation.

Processing location

Changing processing location clears selected files and the current result. Save any needed results first.

Prepare your files

On-device processing

Selected files stay on your device. One PDF, up to 50MiB and 200 pages.

Your original file stays unchanged. Leaving this page or clearing the results removes the displayed information.

How to check your result

This reads the original PDF's properties, visible page dimensions and rotation. Empty metadata does not by itself mean the file is damaged.

What to check

  • Check that paper sizes and portrait or landscape orientations match your intended output.
  • Author, title and dates are stored metadata, not verification of identity or document authenticity.

Properties and metadata describe a file. This tool does not edit or remove them, or certify PDF/A, accessibility or signatures. [1]

Frequently asked questions

What PDF properties can I inspect?

View the page count, page sizes and document properties such as title, author and dates when those values exist. Missing metadata does not mean the PDF is damaged.

Can I remove the PDF author or other metadata?

This viewer reads properties and does not edit or remove them. It does not change the original PDF. Use a tool that explicitly supports metadata removal if you need a cleaned file.

Are my files uploaded?

On-device mode is the default and processes files in your browser without uploading them. Server mode uploads files only after you read the notice and press the server action button. Check the tool for the limits and retention period before choosing that mode.
