Processing...
Drop a PDF onto the upload zone or pick it from your device. The file is parsed locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
ZentoPDF decodes the /Info dictionary and the XMP metadata stream, listing every field — standard (Author, Title, Producer …) and custom — together with permissions and version information.
Browse the metadata table directly in the page or copy/paste it into your notes. Need a sanitised copy of the PDF? One click sends the file to our Remove Metadata tool.

Reduce the file size of your PDF documents while maintaining the best possible quality.
Every standard /Info field (Author, Title, Subject, Keywords, Producer, Creator, CreationDate, ModDate, Trapped), document properties (PDF version, Language, Encryption, Linearization/Fast Web View, AcroForm/XFA form presence, PDF Portfolios), plus the full XMP metadata stream with custom namespaces (e.g. PDF/A, Adobe XMP-MM, custom corporate schemas) and document permissions.
Metadata often reveals more than expected: the real name of the author, the corporate computer username, the exact creation timestamp, the software (and its version) used to create the file. It is a goldmine for journalism, legal forensics and due diligence — and a leak vector you want to plug before publishing documents.
No. All inspection happens locally in your browser using PDF.js and our XMP parser. Your PDF and the displayed metadata never leave your device, which makes the tool safe for evidence and confidential documents.
