# PDF accessibility metadata — title & language, no upload

> Audit and set a PDF's document title and language tag so screen readers announce it correctly. Runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.

Check for missing title and language metadata and set both so screen readers announce the document correctly. The metadata is written on your device, so the file isn't uploaded.

Two small pieces of metadata — the document title and language — make a big difference to how screen readers present a PDF, yet they're missing from most exported files. This tool audits both and lets you set them so assistive technology behaves correctly.

It's a focused accessibility fix rather than full document tagging. To also give the file a clean outline, use Bookmarks.

## How to

1. **Open the PDF.** Drop your PDF to audit its title and language tags.
2. **Set the fields.** Enter a document title and a BCP 47 language tag.
3. **Save.** Download the PDF with the metadata applied.

## FAQ

### Why does the title and language matter?

Screen readers announce the document title and pronounce text using the language tag, so setting both makes a PDF far more usable for assistive tech.

### Is this full WCAG tagging?

No. It sets title and language metadata; deep structural WCAG tagging of arbitrary PDFs is out of scope.

### Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The metadata is read and written locally, so the document stays in your browser.
