What is File Metadata?

Every file contains hidden information beyond its visible content. This metadata includes the file's name, size, type, creation date, and last modified date. For images, metadata can include EXIF data such as camera model, lens settings, exposure values, GPS coordinates, and the date the photo was taken. This tool reveals all of this hidden information in a clear, readable format.

Common Uses

File metadata inspection is useful for verifying when a photo was actually taken, checking if location data is embedded in images before sharing them (for privacy), identifying the camera and settings used for a photo, confirming file types when extensions are missing or wrong, and forensic analysis of documents and media files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my file uploaded to a server? No. All metadata extraction happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
What file types are supported? This tool can read metadata from any file type. For images (JPG, PNG, TIFF), it also extracts EXIF data including camera info and GPS coordinates.
Can I remove metadata from my files? This tool only reads metadata - it doesn't modify files. To strip metadata from images for privacy, you can use our Image Compressor, which removes EXIF data during compression.
