Question 1

Is this file inspector safe and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes - this tool processes everything in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server. All metadata extraction happens client-side using JavaScript.

Question 2

What metadata can I see from photos?

Accepted Answer

You can see EXIF data (camera model, settings, date taken), GPS location data, IPTC metadata (captions, keywords, credits), XMP data, plus image dimensions, resolution, and megapixel count.

Question 3

What file types are supported?

Accepted Answer

Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG, TIFF, AVIF, HEIC), PDFs, videos (MP4, WebM, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC), and text files. Executable files are blocked for security.

Question 4

Can I check if a photo has location data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If the photo contains embedded GPS coordinates, they will be displayed in a dedicated GPS section. This is useful for checking privacy before sharing photos online.

Question 5

Is there a file size limit?

Accepted Answer

Files up to 100 MB are supported. Since everything processes in your browser, very large files may take a moment to analyze.
