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.
