MetadataKit Supports 500+ File Formats

From HEIC to DICOM, PDF to Raw Code. Whether it's a common JPG, a professional RAW (CR3), or a hidden System File (.EXE), we decode the data you can't see.

PDF

Check Author, Producer, Page Count, and incremental updates history.

(Note: Not a reader, an inspector.)

Office (DOCX/XLSX/PPTX)

Analyze Open XML structures. View creator info without opening Word.

Ebooks (EPUB/MOBI/AZW)

Inspect DRM tags, cover art, and publication metadata.

Archives (ZIP/RAR/7Z/GZ)

Advanced Toolkit: Beyond Just Viewing

MetadataKit offers more than a read-only view. With our professional tools, you can compare file differences, export data in multiple formats, and translate tags for better understanding.

Multi-File Comparison

Sidebar comparison. Highlight differences in tags between two files. Perfect for spotting changes after editing software.

Export Options

Download reports in JSON, CSV (Excel), HTML, or XML. Integrate with your own data pipelines.

18-Language Translation

Understand tags in your native language. We translate Exiftool tag descriptions into Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, and more.

Every File Tells a Story. We Help You Read It.

Uncover the hidden narrative: discover the who (creator), where (GPS), when (timestamps), and how (camera/software details) behind any digital file.

The "Used Camera" Inspector

Buying a Used Camera? Check the Real Mileage.

Don't rely on the seller's word. Upload a RAW or JPEG photo to instantly reveal the hidden Shutter Count (Actuations) from the proprietary MakerNotes. Crucial for verifying the lifespan of DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. We support major brands including Nikon, Sony, Canon, Pentax, and Olympus to help you know the exact condition.

The "Location" Detective

Pinpoint Location or Protect Your Privacy.

Forgot where that amazing shot was taken? Extract exact Latitude & Longitude (GPS) data to visualize the location on a map.\n\nDetectable EXIF Data:\n- GPSLatitude / GPSLongitude\n- GPSAltitude (Height)\n- GPSImgDirection (Facing)\n- GPSDateStamp (UTC Time)\n\nVerify if your photos contain sensitive home address data before sharing them on social media. You can also visualize the exact shooting spot on Google Maps or OpenStreetMap to relive your journey.

Digital Forensics

Spot Edited Photos & Timeline Inconsistencies.

Was this image manipulated? Detect traces of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, or other editors in the 'Software' tag. Compare ’DateTimeOriginal’ vs. ’ModifyDate’ to expose mismatched timelines and verify digital integrity.

Content Recovery

Recover Images from Corrupted Files.

Main image file corrupted or won't open? Metadata headers often contain a distinct Embedded Thumbnail or Preview Image. Extract this hidden visual data to confirm file content or recover lost memories.

Privacy-First Design

Why Professionals Trust MetadataKit

Unlike traditional online converters or clunky desktop software, we combine the convenience of the Web with the top-tier security of native apps.

Feature / Aspect	✅ MetadataKit (Browser-Side)	Typical Online Tools (Server-Side)	Desktop / CLI Apps
① Data Privacy & Security	✅ 100% Private Zero Uploads. Files are processed entirely within your browser's secure sandbox.	❌ High Risk Files are uploaded to a third-party server, creating a potential data leak vector.	⚠️ Moderate Risk Files stay local, but the software itself can have telemetry or require internet access.
② Core Tech & Performance	🚀 Instant & Powerful Powered by WebAssembly for native-like performance directly in your browser.	🐌 Slow & Queued Processing speed depends on server traffic and may require waiting in a queue.	🚀 Fast Leverages your computer's full processing power.
③ Installation & Accessibility	✅ Zero Install, Truly Universal Works on any device with a modern browser. Always up-to-date.	✅ No Install Needed Instantly accessible via a web page.	❌ Requires Installation Involves downloading, installing, and managing updates for specific OS (Win/Mac).
④ File Size & Batch Limits	✅ Handles Gigabyte-scale Files Analyze massive files and compare multiple files side-by-side with ease.	- Strictly Limited Often capped at 20-50MB. Batch processing is rarely supported.	✅ Unlimited Handles large files and batch operations, limited only by your local hardware.
⑤ UI & Interaction	✅ Modern & Interactive GUI Features smart grouping, powerful search, filtering, and a clean, ad-free interface.	- Basic & Ad-filled Often a simple output with limited filtering, cluttered with ads.	- Command-Line or Clunky GUI CLI tools have a steep learning curve. GUIs can be outdated and complex.
⑥ Cost & Monetization	✅ Completely Free All core features are available for free, with no ads to distract you.	⚠️ "Free" with Caveats Usually ad-supported, with premium features locked behind a paywall.	- Paid or FOSS Professional software requires a license fee. Free Open Source options can be complex.
