What View PDF Metadata is good for

Frequently asked questions
- Is View PDF Metadata free to use?
- Yes. View PDF Metadata is completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks, daily quotas, or file-size caps. You can process as many files as your device can handle.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. View PDF Metadata runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your documents never leave your device — there are no uploads, no servers, and nothing is stored or logged. That is what makes PDF-Atlas private by architecture.
- Does View PDF Metadata work offline?
- Yes. After the page has loaded once, the tool keeps working without an internet connection. You can also install PDF-Atlas as a desktop app or PWA for a fully offline experience.
- Is my data safe?
- Because all processing happens locally on your machine, your files are as safe as the device they sit on. Nothing is transmitted to PDF-Atlas or any third party.
