What It Does
Reads embedded metadata from files — creation dates, modification dates, authors, software used, camera info, GPS coordinates, titles, keywords and more.
How It Works
Uses the FileReader API to parse file headers and internal structures. For ZIP-based formats (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX), reads the internal XML metadata files. For images, parses EXIF/IPTC/XMP data.
Use Cases
- Check what personal data is embedded in files before sharing
- Verify document authorship and creation times
- Inspect camera and GPS metadata in photos
- Audit files for sensitive metadata before publication
