Metadata Extractor

Inspect file metadata without exposing local server paths. Files are analyzed from PHP’s temporary upload area and are not intentionally retained by this tool.

No local paths in resultsExifTool path fields and temporary filesystem locations are stripped from displayed output.
No deliberate file retentionThis page analyzes PHP temporary uploads in place rather than copying them into a public web directory.
Archives are not extractedZIP files receive a bounded inventory only, reducing path-traversal and decompression-bomb risk.

What metadata can reveal

Depending on the format, metadata can include camera make/model, timestamps, GPS coordinates, editing software, document authorship, codec/container information, color profiles, embedded thumbnails, and application-specific tags. Absence of a field does not prove it never existed—software and messaging platforms often strip metadata.
