EXIF is only metadata a camera or editing software chose to write into the file. This tool also reads the file's actual binary structure directly, its true format regardless of the file extension, color mode and bit depth from the format's own header, DPI from format-specific chunks, and whether transparency is only structurally possible versus actually used by any pixel. Those facts exist whether or not EXIF data was ever written, and EXIF viewing is one section of a broader report rather than the whole tool.

A file extension or browser-reported MIME type can be wrong: a renamed file, an export from software that mislabels the type, or a HEIC photo that some browsers report with an empty type. This tool reads the first bytes of the actual file content, the same signature the format's own decoder relies on, and flags it clearly when that does not match what the browser or extension claims.

Structural transparency means the file format supports an alpha channel, for example a PNG saved in RGBA mode. Actual transparency means at least one pixel in the image is genuinely partly or fully transparent. A huge number of PNGs are saved as RGBA but are 100% opaque throughout, so the two facts are shown separately rather than assuming one implies the other.

Many web-saved images simply never record a resolution value at all. Rather than assuming a common default like 72 or 96 DPI, this tool only reports a DPI value when the file actually contains one, in EXIF resolution tags, JFIF density, or a PNG pHYs chunk. If none of those are present, it says so directly instead of guessing.

Yes. Both are decoded for pixel-level facts and preview, and their container structure is read directly for facts like bit depth and alpha presence. Format-level detail for these two is best-effort: their container format has real variant complexity, and this tool covers the properties real-world encoders commonly produce rather than exhaustively parsing every possible profile.

No. Your photo itself is never uploaded or sent anywhere, all analysis happens locally in your browser. The one exception is the map preview itself: showing it fetches a single public map tile image from OpenStreetMap for the coordinates found in your photo, the same kind of request any map website makes. Nothing about your file is sent in that request, only the coordinates already extracted locally.

This tool is read-only by design, it reports what is in a file without modifying it. If you find GPS data or other metadata you want to remove, the GPS warning links directly to the Remove Location from Photo tool, and Remove EXIF Data strips everything in one click.

No. Every fact in the report, format detection, EXIF parsing, pixel sampling, hashing, is computed locally in your browser. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works, aside from the optional GPS map tile described above.
