Scan PDFs, images, and Office files for hidden metadata including author, GPS, edit history, and embedded comments.
A file can reveal more than its visible pages or pixels. This scanner examines selected PDFs, images, and Office documents for recognizable metadata such as author names, GPS coordinates, editing information, and embedded comments. Inspection happens in the browser, so the selected file is not uploaded for analysis. The common surprise is that a document that looks clean when opened normally may still contain identifying properties or comments. Conversely, an empty report does not prove that every possible hidden or proprietary data structure is absent.
The scanner reads metadata-bearing parts of the selected file according to its format. Relevant locations can include image metadata fields, PDF document properties and annotations, and Office document properties or comment data. It reports values it can recognize rather than attempting to infer sensitive facts from the visible content of the file.
Reported fields should be evaluated in context. An author name may identify a person, GPS coordinates may identify where a photograph was taken, and timestamps or revision properties may expose workflow details. Some values are created automatically by cameras or editing applications, while others may be stale, inaccurate, or intentionally entered.
No. The file is inspected within the browser rather than uploaded for analysis. This is particularly relevant when checking confidential drafts or photographs with location data. The scan only addresses metadata detectable in the selected file; it does not evaluate where other copies are stored or how the file may be handled after you share it.
No. It means the scanner did not report recognizable metadata findings in the material it examined. Sensitive information can still appear visibly in pages, images, filenames, attachments, or unsupported structures. Review the rendered content separately, consider the file's origin, and rescan the final exported copy rather than relying on an earlier version.
