What this PDF file size inspector does

This PDF file size inspector gives you a combined report for one PDF: its file size, its page count, and the metadata stored inside it, all in a single view. Choose a file and run it when you want the headline facts about a document at once, for example before emailing it, uploading it to a portal with size limits, or filing it.

When a combined report is the right check

Sometimes the question is general: how big is this file, how long is it, and what does it say about itself? This report answers all three together. If you only need one figure, the dedicated PDF page counter counts pages on its own, and the PDF metadata viewer focuses on the stored title, author, and dates in more depth.

Good to know

The inspector brings the page count and stored metadata together with the size; it does not analyse fonts, images, or compression inside the PDF. So it can tell you a file is large, but not which internal element makes it large.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server for inspection?

No. The report is produced in your browser, and the file is never sent to this site's server. The size, page count, and metadata are all read locally from your file.

Can this tell me why my PDF is so large?

Not in detail. It reports the total size alongside pages and metadata, but it does not break the file down into fonts, images, or compression, so it cannot name one cause.

How is this different from the page counter and metadata viewer?

Those tools each answer one question on their own page. This inspector combines all three figures, size, pages, and metadata, into one report for a quick overall check.

Limitations

This combines the page counter and metadata readers; it does not analyse fonts, images or compression inside the PDF. Files are processed in your browser and never sent to the site's server.
