Unlock the hidden forensic DNA of your digital photos and graphics with the Browser-Based Image Metadata Viewer & Digital Asset Forensics Studio. Designed for professional photographers, digital investigators, OSINT researchers, and archivists, this privacy-first suite inspects image files directly inside your browser ensuring zero server uploads and 100% confidentiality.
Perform deep byte-level binary parsing across JPEG (APP1 EXIF, IPTC-NAA IIM, XMP packets), PNG (text chunks, tEXt, zTXt, iTXt, pHYs, eXIf), WebP (VP8X chunk extended payloads), TIFF, and RAW/DNG formats. Uncover essential photographic exposure metrics via a dedicated Heads-Up Display (HUD) including camera body model, lens serial, shutter speed, f-stop aperture, ISO sensitivity, EV compensation, flash modes, and metering telemetry.
Pinpoint shooting coordinates with the interactive Leaflet GPS radar and pinpoint elevation, inspect IPTC copyright and creator credits, analyze cryptographic file hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256), and evaluate chronological timeline discrepancies between capture date, digitization time, and filesystem timestamps to detect synthetic manipulations or re-compression artifacts. With one-click metadata stripping, side-by-side comparative inspection, and structured JSON/CSV export capabilities, this is the definitive photographic inspection workbench for the modern web.

Metadata Standards, Binary Architecture & Photographic Forensics Guide
Reference documentation on image metadata structures and forensic tamper detection.
🏛️ EXIF vs. IPTC vs. XMP
EXIF records hardware capture telemetry (shutter, ISO, lens). IPTC-NAA holds editorial rights, copyright, and creator taxonomy. XMP (Adobe's XML framework) unifies them into an extensible, modern schema.
📦 JPEG Binary Segments
JPEG images organize non-pixel data inside Application Markers: APP1 (0xFFE1) encapsulates standard EXIF TIFF headers & Adobe XMP XML packets, while APP13 (0xFFED) stores Photoshop 8BIM IPTC records.
🔬 Forensic Chronology Auditing
Authentic camera files maintain identical or synchronized DateTimeOriginal and DateTimeDigitized timestamps. Divergent software modify dates or software signatures highlight post-processing.
🔒 100% In-Browser Privacy Guarantee
All binary extraction, TIFF directory parsing, IPTC decoding, and report compilation execute entirely in your local browser using client-side JavaScript. Zero bytes are ever uploaded to any server.
