How It Works
Processing location depends on the selected tool and mode. Browser-based tools process files locally; advanced image processing may send the selected file to the ZeroMeta processing endpoint. Files are not intended to be stored permanently.
Select Any Media File
Drag and drop any JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MP3, or PDF directly into your browser.
Instant In-Memory Extraction
Our engine scans binary headers, IFD tables, and XMP packets without sending bytes to any server.
Categorized Report & Export
Review device models, location clues, timestamps, and export structured JSON/CSV reports.
Supported File Formats & Capabilities
ZeroMeta validates authentic file binary headers and signatures prior to processing.
| Format | Extension | Inspection / Stripping Scope | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPEG / JPG | .jpg, .jpeg | EXIF IFD0, SubIFD, GPS, IPTC, XMP, C2PA Manifests | Full camera exposure parameters, focal length, lens serial numbers. |
| PNG / WebP | .png, .webp | eXIf chunks, textual comments, XMP packets | Software tags, rendering engines, and transparency metadata. |
| Video (MP4 / WebM / MOV) | .mp4, .mov, .webm | QuickTime atoms, ISO base media tracks, container properties | Resolution, framerate, duration, audio channels. |
| PDF Document | Document Info Dictionary (/Title, /Author, /Creator), XMP streams | Detects software generator, modification dates, and producer signatures. |
Privacy Considerations
- Files are parsed strictly inside your browser sandbox using ArrayBuffers.
- Zero network requests are triggered when inspecting metadata.
- No files or extracted GPS coordinates are logged or transmitted.
Technical Boundaries
- •Viewer only displays metadata tags actually encoded in the file headers.
- •Corrupted or stripped headers will not yield EXIF or IPTC values.
- •Steganographic hidden data or non-standard proprietary tags may not be parsed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of sensitive data does this viewer reveal?
Most modern smartphone photos include exact GPS latitude/longitude, altitude, timestamp, phone model, iOS/Android version, and unique camera hardware IDs.
Does opening a file here compromise my privacy?
No. ZeroMeta processes your file 100% locally in your browser memory. We have no servers observing or logging your inspection.
Can I export the metadata for forensic or archive purposes?
Yes. You can export complete reports in JSON, CSV, or formatted text with one click.
