Before you inspect
File metadata viewer questions
A precise explanation of what happens to your file and what the viewer can report.
Is my PDF file uploaded?
No. Inspection runs inside your browser and the selected file is not sent to RemoveMyEXIF.
Does viewing metadata change the file?
No. Inspection is read-only. The original file is not modified, and a clean copy is only created if you explicitly choose Remove metadata.
Does the viewer find every kind of hidden data?
No. It reports the supported metadata containers listed on the page. Hidden document content, comments, revisions, macros, watermarks, and unsupported tag systems require separate review.
