Re-encoding removes the common metadata blocks this tool can verify. ICC profiles are not copied by the current raster pipeline, which can change color appearance. Proprietary metadata varies by format.

How to use view metadata
- Select one or more files or drag them into the upload area.
- Review the detected format. A mismatch between the file signature and its name is rejected for safety.
- Choose the output format, quality, optional target size, and resize settings that apply to this task.
- Enable first-frame or first-page extraction only when you understand that additional animation frames or pages will not be preserved.
- Process the batch, compare each result, then download individual files or a ZIP.
Metadata and privacy
Image metadata can describe the camera, lens, software, capture date, orientation, author, and sometimes a precise GPS location. This viewer parses supported fields locally and escapes every value before display. The cleaner uses decode-and-re-encode for raster files so common EXIF, IPTC, XMP, comments, and embedded thumbnails are not carried into the new output.
Metadata standards and proprietary maker notes vary. A successful result means the fields tested by this engine are absent; it is not a promise that every unknown vendor block in every image format has been identified.
Practical example
Suppose a JPEG file is too large for a website or message. Start with an 82% quality setting, keep the original dimensions for the first run, and compare the preview and output size. If it remains too large, set a maximum width that matches its real display size. For a fixed upload limit, add a target size and let the bounded search find the closest candidate. Keep the original file separately so you can return to it later.
Supported behavior for this page
- Input: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, HEIC
- Output: Metadata report displayed in the browser
- Batch limit: 30 files, 50 MB per file, 300 MB total.
- Safety limit: decoded dimensions are checked before large pixel buffers are created.
- Metadata: reading and removal vary by format; raster cleanup uses re-encoding.
Known limitation: Malformed or proprietary metadata may be omitted. Displayed values are escaped and never inserted as raw HTML.
Frequently asked questions
Are image metadata viewer files uploaded?
No. Selection, decoding, processing, preview creation, and downloads happen inside your browser. Ordinary page requests still go to the hosting provider.
What formats work with this tool?
The advertised inputs are JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, HEIC. The tool checks file signatures instead of trusting only the filename.
Will the output be exactly the requested size?
Compression results depend on image detail, dimensions, format, and encoder. Exact sizes are not promised unless the resulting bytes happen to match.
Does processing remove metadata?
Raster re-encoding removes the common metadata blocks this tool can verify. SVG uses sanitization. Proprietary blocks and color-profile behavior vary, so sensitive results should be checked before sharing.
