PowerPoint Metadata Viewer
Read the hidden properties of a PowerPoint file: author, company, revision count, title and timestamps. Decks get forwarded far beyond their original audience, and this shows what travels with them. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
The PPTX package properties are read and returned as JSON, together with what the deck records elsewhere: the names on its comments, how many slides are hidden or carry speaker notes, files it links to (a linked spreadsheet’s path usually names the author’s folders), embedded video, audio and fonts, macros and custom properties. Slides and media are read only and never changed.
What the viewer reports
| Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Author and Last modified by | Who created the deck and who saved it last |
| Company and Manager | Stamped in from the Office installation, often a previous employer |
| Created, Modified and Revision | When the deck was made and last saved, and how many times it was saved |
| Total editing time | How many minutes the file was open for editing |
| Template | The template the deck started from |
| Application and version | The software that last saved it |
| Slides, words and paragraphs | The counts PowerPoint recorded at the last save |
| Title, subject, keywords, category and description | Fields someone filled in, or a template filled in for them |
| Reviewers and comments | The names on the deck’s comments, and how many there are |
| Hidden slides and speaker notes | How many slides are hidden in the show, and how many carry notes |
| Linked files | Paths to files the deck links to, which often name the author’s computer and folders |
| Macros, embedded media and fonts | What else travels inside the file |
What it does not show
- Speaker notes and comments are counted and their authors named, but their text is slide content: read it in PowerPoint before sharing.
- Hidden slides are counted; unhide them in PowerPoint to see what is on them.
- To clear the fields above, use Remove PowerPoint Metadata.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
What does the revision number tell people?
Roughly how many times the deck was saved. A high count on a "new" proposal can be revealing.
Are speaker notes shown here?
Their count is: the report says how many slides carry notes, so you know to check them. The notes themselves are slide content, so read them in PowerPoint before sharing.
Can it show who commented on a deck?
Yes. The names on the deck’s comments are listed as reviewers, with the number of comments, which is what often gives away an internal review when a deck is sent outside.
What is a linked file path?
A chart or table can stay linked to the spreadsheet it came from, and the deck stores that file’s path, such as C:/Users/name/Documents/Budget.xlsx. Those paths are listed, because they reveal the author’s account name and folders.
How do I clear these fields?
Use Remove PowerPoint Metadata, which clears them while preserving every slide.
