MetaExtractor

MetaExtractor is a handy little tool that helps you dig up all the hidden info in your files. Every time a file gets created, your computer tags it with lots of details like when it was made, who made it, and what program was used. Some of this info can even be changed if you have the right tools.

Easy-to-Use Interface

If you're just looking to grab and see this data, MetaExtractor is your go-to. It’s super lightweight and starts up as soon as you unzip it. Plus, it can check out multiple files at once to pull out useful information.

File Format Support

This tool supports a bunch of formats including Microsoft Office files like .doc and .ppt, OpenOffice files like odt and ods, and PDFs. The latest version even handles SolidWorks CAD drawings! And the best part? You don’t need to have any of those programs installed to use MetaExtractor, but you do need to have .NET Framework.

Simplistic Yet Powerful Analysis

When you open the main window, you'll notice it's simple and easy on the eyes. You can start adding files for analysis one by one or load an entire folder at once – whatever suits you best!

Quick File Analysis

The file analysis doesn’t take long at all! Once it's done, you'll get access to details like the creation date, last modified date, full path, MD5 checksum, title, subject, category, company name, keywords used, status updates, who last edited it, revision number, hidden slide count (for PowerPoint), note count – pretty much everything!

Saving Your Data for Review

If some specific details aren’t found within a file (like PowerPoint slides in Word docs), those fields will just be empty. But don't worry! You can save all the information displayed into CSV files for more detailed review later on.

A Quick Solution for Metadata Extraction

Overall, MetaExtractor is perfect for anyone needing a quick way to grab metadata from their files. In our tests, everything worked smoothly without any hiccups!
