Why This Exists

Every day, photographers, designers, developers need to answer simple questions about images:

• "Is this image really 300 DPI or did someone lie?"
• "What camera took this photo?"
• "Why does this PNG look different on my monitor?"
• "Is this file actually a JPEG or did someone rename it?"
• "What prompt was used to generate this AI image?"

Existing tools are either desktop apps you need to install, online services that upload your files to who-knows-where, or command-line tools that require technical knowledge.

Image Meta Data Viewer solves this with a single webpage that runs entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your computer.
