Tips for best results
- Check metadata before sharing a file publicly, since author names and software details are often embedded.
- Everything runs in your browser, so you can use PDF Metadata Viewer even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Limits to keep in mind
- Files are processed in your browser, so very large files depend on your device memory and may be slow. The limit is 50 MB per file.
- Password-protected PDFs may fail to open. Scanned PDFs are pictures of text, so text-extraction tools cannot read them without OCR.
