Inspect & clean files

PNG Metadata Viewer

Upload a PNG to inspect EXIF/XMP blocks, GPS tags, and text chunks (tEXt/iTXt/zTXt) while keeping pixels untouched.

Why view PNG metadata?

Checking PNG metadata helps you protect privacy, verify authenticity, and understand how the file was created.

Protect privacy

Catch GPS trails, device IDs, and captions in your PNG before posting or handing off.

Verify authenticity

Check capture time, camera/lens settings, and export software to spot edits in your PNG.

Prep delivery

See color profiles, dimensions, and orientation so PNG exports look correct on every screen.

Preview the report layout

See how we surface EXIF, PDF, and video metadata before you upload your own file.

Example Metadata Report

After uploading, you'll get a detailed breakdown of your file's hidden data, similar to the example below.

Our secure process

We show you exactly what happens when you upload a file, so you know where your data goes and what stays untouched.

Upload over HTTPS

Pick or drop your PNG. Transfers are secure.

Parse metadata only

We read headers and metadata blocks; the file content is not changed or recompressed.

Highlight key signals

We group timestamps, authorship, location, and technical fields so you can spot what matters quickly.

Display readable results

You see structured metadata grouped by sections for fast review with no downloads required.

Delete temporary copy

The transient server copy is purged right after processing completes.

What PNG metadata can you view?

Here are the fields you can inspect before you share or archive the file. Use them to verify provenance, quality, and privacy.

  • EXIF/XMP blocks and GPS (when present)
  • tEXt/iTXt/zTXt chunks for captions and comments
  • ICC profiles, bit depth, and transparency/orientation details
  • Container-level tags unique to PNG files, including custom fields
  • Any embedded previews, thumbnails, or artwork found inside the PNG container

PNG metadata FAQs

What can I see in a PNG file?

You can view EXIF/XMP data, GPS (if present), text chunks (tEXt/iTXt/zTXt), and ICC/color information without altering the PNG.

Do you change or recompress my PNG file?

No. The viewer only reads metadata from your PNG file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.

What if my PNG file has little or no metadata?

Some PNG files ship with minimal fields. We show everything present—if a tag is missing (like GPS or author), there simply isn't any data to display.

Can I verify attachments or previews in a PNG?

Yes. If the PNG contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.

Can I copy the PNG metadata for documentation?

You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original PNG.
