What is CAB Metadata?

CAB files store hidden information called metadata that describes the file's properties, creation details, and technical specifications. This embedded data can include timestamps, author information, device details, location data, and various technical parameters that aren't visible when simply viewing the file.

  • Better Organization: Edit and update metadata fields to maintain a structured, well-cataloged file system
  • Security Enhancement: Clear sensitive metadata that might reveal confidential information about your activities
  • Testing Purposes: Generate sample metadata for application testing without compromising real user data
  • Legal Compliance: Adhere to privacy regulations by managing metadata appropriately before file distribution

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any fees for using this CAB editor?

Zero fees, now or ever. This tool is provided as a free service to the community. There are no hidden charges, subscription models, or plans to monetize it in the future.

Is my CAB file data kept private?

Your privacy is guaranteed by the architecture itself. Since all processing happens locally in your browser without any server communication, your files and their metadata never leave your possession.

What metadata can be changed in CAB files?

You can change user-editable metadata such as document properties, authorship information, creation dates, and custom fields. System metadata that defines the file structure is protected to maintain file validity.

Does this support mobile browsers?

Full mobile browser support is included. The tool has been optimized for touch interactions and smaller screens, providing the same functionality on mobile as on desktop computers.

Will changing metadata affect my CAB file?

Only the metadata will change - the actual file content remains identical. This means your file will look, sound, or display exactly the same way, just with updated descriptive information.

Can multiple CAB files be edited together?

We process files individually to ensure accuracy and give you full control over each file's metadata. This approach prevents errors and allows careful review of changes before saving.
