What is DWG Metadata?
Metadata in DWG files refers to the embedded information that provides context about the file itself. This hidden data layer contains details such as creation dates, modification history, authorship, technical specifications, and other descriptive information that helps identify and organize the file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this DWG tool free to use?
Yes, completely free with no strings attached. You won't encounter paywalls, usage limits, watermarks, or requests for payment. Use it as often as you need for personal or commercial projects.
Do my DWG files get sent to a server?
Files stay on your device throughout the entire process. Modern browsers can perform complex operations locally, and we leverage this capability to ensure your files remain under your exclusive control.
Can I modify all metadata in DWG files?
Most metadata is modifiable, particularly user-facing fields. Some technical metadata that's essential to the file format specification may be locked to prevent creating invalid or corrupted files.
Will this work on my phone?
Absolutely! Whether you're using an iPhone, Android device, or tablet, the tool works flawlessly. We've ensured compatibility with Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and other popular mobile browsers.
Could editing metadata damage my file?
Damage is not possible because we only modify metadata fields, not the underlying file content. It's analogous to editing a photo's caption without touching the image itself.
Can I edit several DWG files at the same time?
Files are edited individually, which provides better accuracy and control. You can work through multiple files quickly by processing them one after another in sequence.
