PDF Page Size & Metadata Viewer — Free, No Upload

See a PDF's page count, page sizes and metadata

Add a PDF and the tool lists how many pages it has, its file size, the size and orientation of every page and any title, author or creator stored inside it. The file is read in your browser and is never uploaded.

What the tool shows

A summary of four numbers: pages, file size, how many different page sizes there are, and how many pages have a rotation setting. Under it come the document details that are filled in (title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer), the page sizes grouped together, and, for PDFs of up to 30 pages, a table with the size, approximate millimetres, orientation and rotation of each page.

Points and millimetres

PDF sizes are in points; 1 point is 1/72 of an inch, about 0.353 mm. The tool shows points and an approximate size in millimetres. An A4 page is 595 × 842 points and shows as 210 × 297 mm; a US Letter page is 612 × 792 points and shows as 216 × 279 mm. The tool does not name standard sizes or show inches.

Mixed sizes and rotation

Documents assembled from several sources often mix page sizes, for example an A4 body with a wider cover. The tool groups pages by their size so the odd ones stand out. Orientation is worked out from the stored width and height, and a page's rotation setting is listed separately, so a page that looks landscape on screen because it is rotated may be listed as portrait with a rotation of 90°.

What it does not show

It does not show the PDF version, creation and modification dates, or whether the file is password protected, and it does not edit anything. If the title, author, creator and producer are all empty, no document details are shown. A file that cannot be read shows a message that it may be encrypted or damaged.

Next steps

If pages are the wrong way round, fix them with the PDF page rotator. To make the file smaller, use the PDF compressor.

Frequently asked questions

What does this tool show about a PDF?

The page count, the file size, the number of different page sizes and of rotated pages, the title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer when they are filled in, the page sizes grouped together and, for PDFs of up to 30 pages, a table of every page's size, orientation and rotation.

What do the page sizes in points mean?

PDF sizes are measured in points. 1 point is 1/72 of an inch, about 0.353 mm. An A4 page is 595 × 842 points (shown as 210 × 297 mm) and a US Letter page is 612 × 792 points (shown as 216 × 279 mm).

Why does my PDF show more than one page size?

Some PDFs mix sizes, for example an A4 body with a wider cover or a few oversized drawings. The tool groups the pages by size and lists which pages belong to each group.

Why is a page listed as portrait when it looks landscape?

Orientation is worked out from the stored width and height. A page that is turned by a rotation setting can look landscape on screen while its stored size is portrait; its rotation is listed in its own column.

Why are the title and author empty?

Many PDFs, especially ones exported or scanned by other tools, do not fill in those fields. When the title, author, creator and producer are all empty the tool shows no document details.

Does it show the PDF version, dates or encryption?

No. It shows page count, size, page sizes, rotation and the metadata fields listed above. If the file cannot be read, the tool says it may be encrypted or damaged.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Your browser reads the PDF on your device. The site records an anonymous count that the tool was used, never the document.
