GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET

Extract, edit, and remove metadata from documents, images, audio, and video files. This package automatically selects the correct runtime assemblies for your target framework.

Quick Start

using GroupDocs.Metadata;

using (var metadata = new Metadata("input.docx"))
{
    var info = metadata.GetDocumentInfo();
    Console.WriteLine($"Pages: {info.PageCount}");
}

Runtime Selection (TFM Split)

GroupDocs.Metadata is a lightweight router (metapackage). When you install it, NuGet pulls exactly one runtime package matching your project’s target framework.

Available Runtime Packages

Package Target Framework
GroupDocs.Metadata.Net472 .NET Framework 4.7.2
GroupDocs.Metadata.NetStandard21 .NET Standard 2.1
GroupDocs.Metadata.Net60 .NET 6.0
GroupDocs.Metadata.Net80 .NET 8.0

You can also install a specific runtime package directly if you want full control.

Examples

Inspect a document (format, pages, encryption)

using GroupDocs.Metadata;

using (var metadata = new Metadata("input.xlsx"))
{
    var info = metadata.GetDocumentInfo();
    Console.WriteLine($"Format: {info.FileType.FileFormat}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Extension: {info.FileType.Extension}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Pages: {info.PageCount}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Encrypted: {info.IsEncrypted}");
}

Remove selected metadata properties

using GroupDocs.Metadata;
using GroupDocs.Metadata.Tagging;

using (var metadata = new Metadata("input.docx"))
{
    int affected = metadata.RemoveProperties(p =>
        p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Person.Creator) ||
        p.Tags.Contains(Tags.Person.Editor));

    Console.WriteLine($"Properties removed: {affected}");
    metadata.Save("output.docx");
}

Supported Formats (high level)

This API supports a broad set of document and media formats, including:

  • Word Processing: DOC, DOCX, DOCM, RTF, ODT
  • Spreadsheets: XLS, XLSX, XLSM, ODS, CSV
