File metadata inspector
See what your file says about where it came from, before you share it.
It reads C2PA Content Credentials, EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and PDF and Office document properties, and lists what it found.
How to use it
Choose a PDF, PNG, JPEG or Office file. We read it and list what it carries: C2PA Content Credentials, EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and PDF or Office document properties. Nothing is uploaded to keep and nothing is saved.
When it helps
Photos and documents carry data you never typed: the camera or phone that took the shot, GPS coordinates, the author and company on an Office file, and Content Credentials describing how an image was made. It travels with the file when you send it. It is also sometimes wrong about your own work, because a picture you took can pick up a record naming an app it passed through, and some sites read those records when they decide how to describe a post.
Common questions
Which files can I check?
PDF, PNG, JPEG, and Office files such as .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and their OpenDocument equivalents.
What if nothing is found?
Then the file carries no metadata we can read, and we say so. That's a normal answer, not an error.
Nothing was found. Does that mean the image was not made by a program?
No. This tool reads the data written into the file. Some image generators also work a faint pattern into the picture data itself, and that pattern is part of the image rather than a field attached to it, so it never shows up in a list of fields and we make no claim about it either way. An empty result means the file carries no metadata we can read, and nothing more than that.
Is my file stored?
No. It is read to produce the list and nothing is kept. The details shown are your own, and they are not logged or shared.
What is a soft binding?
Some Content Credentials also register a fingerprint worked out from the picture itself and kept in a separate database. Nothing about it sits inside your file, so no tool that edits the file can remove it. When we see one, we say so on the result.
