Why view TIFF metadata?

Checking TIFF metadata helps you protect privacy, verify authenticity, and understand how the file was created.

Protect privacy

Catch GPS trails, device IDs, and captions in your TIFF before posting or handing off.

Verify authenticity

Check capture time, camera/lens settings, and export software to spot edits in your TIFF.

Prep delivery

See color profiles, dimensions, and orientation so TIFF exports look correct on every screen.

Preview the report layout

See how we surface EXIF, PDF, and video metadata before you upload your own file.

Example Metadata Report

After uploading, you'll get a detailed breakdown of your file's hidden data, similar to the example below.

Our secure process

We show you exactly what happens when you upload a file, so you know where your data goes and what stays untouched.

Upload over HTTPS

Pick or drop your TIFF. Transfers are secure.

Parse metadata only

We read headers and metadata blocks; the file content is not changed or recompressed.

Highlight key signals

We group timestamps, authorship, location, and technical fields so you can spot what matters quickly.

Display readable results

You see structured metadata grouped by sections for fast review with no downloads required.

Delete temporary copy

The transient server copy is purged right after processing completes.

What TIFF metadata can you view?

Here are the fields you can inspect before you share or archive the file. Use them to verify provenance, quality, and privacy.

  • EXIF/IPTC/XMP blocks and optional GeoTIFF tags
  • Scanner/HostComputer fields, page names, and document info
  • Bit depth, resolution, orientation, and color profiles
  • Container-level tags unique to TIFF/TIF files, including custom fields
  • Any embedded previews, thumbnails, or artwork found inside the TIFF/TIF container

TIFF/TIF metadata FAQs

What can I see in a TIFF/TIF file?

You can inspect EXIF/IPTC/XMP, optional GeoTIFF tags, scanner/HostComputer fields, and bit depth/resolution/orientation without modifying the TIFF.

Do you change or recompress my TIFF/TIF file?

No. The viewer only reads metadata from your TIFF/TIF file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.

What if my TIFF/TIF file has little or no metadata?

Some TIFF/TIF 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 TIFF/TIF?

Yes. If the TIFF/TIF contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.

Can I copy the TIFF/TIF metadata for documentation?

You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original TIFF/TIF.
