Is this metadata viewer safe to use?
Yes. The selected file stays in this browser tab. It is never uploaded or added to a file history, and the page forgets it when you clear, replace, or refresh.

How to act on this result
Search all fields
Field not found: search native fields as well as the summary. If parsing finished and it is still absent, it was not found in this copy. That cannot distinguish a field never recorded from one removed later.
Check reading limits
Reading incomplete: a damaged block, unsupported format or interrupted parser is a reading limit, not an empty record. Read the warning and keep the original before trying another supported copy.
Compare the sources
Value present: dates, names and coordinates record what the file says. They are editable. Compare source groups and the history of this copy before treating a value as evidence.
Useful details, without the lecture.
- Checks the real file signature instead of trusting the extension.
- Builds a readable summary and a complete native field ledger.
- Calculates SHA-256 and MD5 while reading the file once.
- Exports safe JSON and a concise PDF report.
What this result cannot prove
- The 100 MB general limit keeps a damaged file from swallowing the tab.
- Encrypted PDFs are reported, never brute-forced.
- Metadata describes a file; it does not prove every field is accurate.
