About Document Metadata Inspector

The job of Document Metadata Inspector is narrow on purpose: deep metadata report for PDFs and images. The answer is shown on the page — there is no converted file to download. Files up to 100 MB each, 50 at a time, and the work happens on your own machine rather than on a server.

Useful when the job is answering a question about a file rather than converting it and you would rather not install software, join a queue or hand the file to a stranger.

How to use Document Metadata Inspector in 3 steps

  1. Start by dropping the PDF you want to work on; the limit is 100 MB per file.
  2. There is nothing to configure for Document Metadata Inspector — the report is built from the file's own properties.
  3. Press Inspect metadata and read the answer on the screen; nothing leaves your device to be computed.

Document Metadata Inspector: questions

Will it work on a phone?
Yes. The layout adapts to a small screen and the processing runs in the mobile browser, so a photo or a downloaded document can be handled on the device it arrived on.
Why is it free?
Because the expensive part — the server farm — does not exist. Processing runs on your device, so the site can stay free without a signup wall in front of it or an upsell in the middle of a job.
Which file types does Document Metadata Inspector accept?
The drop area takes PDF, JPG, JPEG and 10 more. Files are read from your device in the browser, so the format has to be one a browser can decode — that is why the accepted list on this page is finite and honest rather than "everything".
Does Document Metadata Inspector produce a file?
No. It reads what you gave it and answers on the page. That is deliberate — for an inspection question, downloading a report about your own file would only move the data somewhere it does not need to be.
