Capture and modification dates
DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized and DateTime contain recorded dates. A missing timezone is not assumed to mean UTC.

The file is processed on the server. We do not retain the file or report for later access; temporary files are removed after processing.
Metadata can be changed or removed. It does not prove authenticity, that a file is unchanged, its capture location or a screenshot’s origin. Image pixels are not inspected.
API documentation →How to inspect a photo’s metadata
Choose the original file
Use JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC/HEIF up to 5 MiB and 100 MP. Files downloaded from messaging apps or social networks may contain less metadata than the original.
Run the inspection
The service reads supported properties of the primary image. It does not recognize image content or edit the file.
Review sources and save the report
Read the source values, explanations and coverage. Copy the report or download JSON. Check for GPS coordinates before sharing it.
What you can find in photo metadata
Camera, phone and software
Make, Model, Software and other supported fields show the device and application recorded in the file.
GPS coordinates
When valid coordinates are recorded, the report shows latitude, longitude and available altitude. These are file properties, not proof of the capture location.
Image properties and sources
Inspect the format, dimensions, color mode, EXIF, supported XMP and PNG text fields. Truncated values and incomplete analysis are marked explicitly.
Can metadata show whether a photo was edited?
Editing software or different dates sometimes remain in metadata. These can help a manual review, but ordinary exports can leave them too. Metadata can be changed or removed. This tool does not inspect pixels or prove that a photo is authentic or unchanged.
Why screenshots often have no EXIF
A screenshot may contain only its dimensions and format. No camera was involved, so a camera model or capture date may be absent. Messaging apps can also remove properties. Missing EXIF does not establish forgery.
Photo metadata questions
Which formats are supported?
JPEG/JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC/HEIF. For a container with multiple images, only the primary image is inspected; the report explicitly shows this limitation.
Can I inspect HEIC photos from an iPhone?
Yes. HEIC/HEIF is supported. Device, dates and GPS are shown when present in supported fields of the source file.
Can I identify a device from a screenshot alone?
You can inspect the information recorded in the file. Dimensions or missing EXIF do not reliably identify the device or application.
Are photos and GPS coordinates stored?
The free form does not retain the file or report. Temporary files are removed after analysis. Do not share a JSON report if you want to keep any coordinates in it private.
How do I inspect files automatically?
Integrate the Kvitera API. Reports from authenticated API and workspace requests are saved in your company’s history for 30 days; source images are not retained.
Need metadata inspection in your system?
Use the API for structured reports on photos, screenshots and PDFs. Your team can access inspection history in the workspace.
