What metadata is shown?

Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, modification date, PDF version and page count — whatever the file contains.

No — parsing happens locally in your browser.

Can I edit the metadata?

Not with this tool — it's a read-only viewer. Editing PDF metadata is on the roadmap.

What is PDF Metadata Viewer?

PDF Metadata Viewer is a free online utility from FameConvert that lets you work with your files without uploading them anywhere.

FameConvert runs entirely in your browser. There is no signup, no queue, no watermark and no ten-file daily limit — the whole tool loads once and then works offline. Because the conversion happens on your device, output files are ready the moment the browser finishes processing.

Why use PDF Metadata Viewer?

Most online converters require you to upload the file to a random server, sit through an ad-heavy queue and then download a watermarked result. PDF Metadata Viewer takes the opposite approach:

100% private — files are processed on your device and never uploaded to a server.
Free forever — no accounts, no watermarks, no size caps and no hidden usage limits.
Instant results — output downloads the moment the browser finishes; no waiting in a queue.
Works offline — once the page has loaded, the tool keeps working without a network connection.
No install — nothing to download, update or hand admin rights to; any modern browser is enough.

Key features

Drag-and-drop upload with instant client-side validation for file type and size.
Batch support — process multiple files in one go, then download them individually or as a ZIP.
Clear file-size and MIME-type checks so you know immediately if a file is not supported.
Built-in conversion history so you can re-download recent results without repeating the work.
Shareable links that preserve your tool settings, perfect for teammates and support requests.
Responsive design that works equally well on desktop, tablet and mobile browsers.

When PDF Metadata Viewer is useful

Prepare files for email attachments, client hand-offs or CMS uploads that only accept certain formats.
Archive assets in a lossless, widely-supported format so they remain readable years from now.
Batch-convert an entire folder before importing into another application.
Convert on a locked-down work laptop where installing new desktop software is not allowed.
Handle sensitive documents that must never leave the device for compliance reasons.

Tips for the best results

Convert on a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) for the fastest results — old browsers lack some of the underlying APIs.
For very large batches, close other heavy tabs so the browser can dedicate more memory to the conversion.
Keep an original copy of your source file until you have opened the output and confirmed it looks correct.

Is it private and safe?

Yes. PDF Metadata Viewer is a fully client-side tool. When you drop a file into the upload area it is decoded in your browser's memory, converted with JavaScript running on your device, and the result is offered as a direct download. No copy of the file is sent to FameConvert, uploaded to cloud storage or logged in a database — you can even switch off your network after the page loads and the tool will continue to work.

This makes FameConvert a good fit for legal contracts, medical scans, financial statements, ID documents and any other file you would not want passing through an unknown server.
