Frequently Asked Questions
Are files uploaded to a server?
No. All parsing and analysis runs entirely in your browser. No files are uploaded to any external server.
What file formats does this tool accept?
Typical supported formats: .jpg, .png, .pdf, .docx. If your format is not listed, try exporting or providing a compatible file.
Can I analyze large files?
Large files may be slow or memory-intensive in the browser. For very large datasets consider using a local specialist tool.
What metadata can this tool extract?
The tool extracts file metadata including EXIF data from images, metadata from PDFs (author, creator, title), document properties from Office files, and general file information like size and modification date.
Does the file leave my browser?
No. All metadata extraction happens locally in your browser. Files are not uploaded to any server.
Which file formats are supported?
The tool supports JPEG and PNG images (with EXIF extraction), PDF documents, and Office files (DOCX, XLSX). For unsupported formats, basic file information is still shown.
Can I verify file authenticity with metadata?
Metadata can provide context for triage and investigation, such as creation dates, camera information, and document author. However, metadata can be modified or removed, so it should be used with other verification methods.
