JPG/JPEG metadata FAQs
What can I see in a JPG/JPEG file?
See EXIF GPS, camera and lens settings, orientation, thumbnails, and IPTC/XMP captions/keywords to understand where and how the JPEG was created.
Do you change or recompress my JPG/JPEG file?
No. The viewer only reads metadata from your JPG/JPEG file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.
What if my JPG/JPEG file has little or no metadata?
Some JPG/JPEG files ship with minimal fields. We show everything present—if a tag is missing (like GPS or author), there simply isn't any data to display.
Can I verify attachments or previews in a JPG/JPEG?
Yes. If the JPG/JPEG contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.
Can I copy the JPG/JPEG metadata for documentation?
You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original JPG/JPEG.
