What is stored in PPTX metadata?
Every PPTX file contains a docProps/core.xml file that stores document-level properties defined by the Dublin Core and OOXML specifications. This includes the title, subject, author, description, keywords, category, and timestamps for creation and last modification. These fields are set automatically by PowerPoint when a file is created or saved, and they persist when the file is shared.
Metadata travels with the file and is often indexed by document management systems, email servers, and search tools. A presentation saved under one person's name and shared with a client will still carry that author's name in the properties panel. Cleaning up these fields before distribution is a simple housekeeping step that is easy to overlook.
This tool reads and writes only the core properties. Slide content, themes, animations, and media are not touched. Your file is processed entirely in the browser — no server, no upload, no account.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to edit metadata?
No. Both reading and writing metadata happen entirely in your browser. The PPTX is processed in memory and offered as a download — nothing is sent to any server.
Which metadata fields can I edit?
Title, author (creator), subject, description, category, and keywords. These are the Dublin Core and OOXML core properties stored in docProps/core.xml inside the PPTX. Created and modified timestamps are read-only and are not editable through this tool.
Why would I want to edit presentation metadata?
Common reasons include: removing the original author's name before sharing externally, setting a title and keywords for document management systems that index file properties, or cleaning up default values left by presentation templates.
Does editing metadata affect the slide content?
No. Only the docProps/core.xml file is modified. Slide content, layouts, themes, animations, and media are all untouched.
Is the modification date updated when I save?
Yes. The tool automatically sets the dcterms:modified field to the current date and time when you save, which is standard behavior for any application that writes a PPTX file.
