Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The entire page count and metadata extraction happens in your browser using PDF.js. Your file never leaves your device.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
No — password-protected (encrypted) PDFs cannot be read without the password. Please remove the password protection first.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no artificial limit. The only constraint is your device's available memory. The tool only reads the document structure, not every page's content, so it handles large PDFs efficiently.
Why does the metadata look incomplete?
Not all PDFs contain full metadata (title, author, etc.). The tool shows whatever metadata the document includes. A PDF generated from a scan may have no metadata at all.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes! The tool works on mobile browsers, though very large PDFs may process more slowly on mobile devices.
