Inspect file type, size, dates and image dimensions locally.
Every digital file you create, download, or share carries a hidden layer of information known as metadata. Whether it is the date a photo was taken, the author of a PDF document, or the device used for capture, these invisible details travel everywhere with your files. With our free metadata viewer, you can easily peek behind the curtain and inspect all the underlying data tucked inside your documents and images.
Understanding what information is embedded in your files is crucial for both privacy and organization. Photographers, digital artists, researchers, and everyday internet users often need to check file properties before uploading them to the web. By using a reliable online inspection tool, you can ensure no sensitive data slips through the cracks.
Privacy is a growing concern in the digital age. Photos taken on smartphones often contain exact GPS coordinates, camera model numbers, and timestamp data. Sharing these files publicly can unintentionally reveal your location or personal habits. Our tool lets you verify what information is present so you can take steps to protect your privacy.
