Image Metadata Inspector
Inspect image dimensions, type, transparency, animation hints, EXIF presence, and browser readability before editing or publishing.
Drop an image here
JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, GIF, and browser-readable images.
Use the Image Metadata Inspector when you need quick image facts before choosing another tool.
It helps decide whether to resize, compress, convert, strip metadata, or create a favicon.
Unknown source images
Check dimensions and type before using the image in a workflow.
CMS upload prep
Inspect whether file size or dimensions are likely to exceed upload guidance.
Design QA
Confirm whether a logo or screenshot has transparency.
Logo QA
Check whether a PNG has transparent pixels before converting to JPG.
Upload planning
See whether an image is large enough to resize before compression.
Limit
This does not replace a dedicated prepress or color-management workflow.
Converting transparency to JPG
If transparency is present, use PNG or WebP unless a matte background is acceptable.
Compressing before resizing
Large pixel dimensions often matter more than quality settings.
Ignoring browser support
Some formats can be listed but not decoded by the current browser.
Image triage
Decide which tool to use next.
Upload QA
Check size and format before CMS uploads.
Transparency checks
Avoid losing alpha channels by mistake.
Publishing prep
Confirm basic facts before compression.
Does Image Metadata Inspector upload my image?
The public tool is designed for browser-side processing based on the current implementation. Avoid using sensitive images unless you have reviewed the implementation and your own data requirements.
Will metadata be preserved?
Canvas-based exports usually change or remove metadata. Keep the original file when metadata, color profiles, or exact camera details matter.
Why can a browser image tool fail?
Very large files, unusual formats, limited memory, unsupported browser encoders, or SVG features the browser cannot render can cause failures.
When should I use Image Metadata Inspector?
Use it as the first step when you are not sure which image tool should come next.
Suggested workflow
Image publishing workflow
Inspect the source, prepare the output, then compress or convert for the final destination.
