PNG Metadata Viewer
View PNG metadata, text chunks, software fields, copyright notes, ICC profiles, and privacy risks locally in your browser.
View Image Metadata
Analyze locally in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.
Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and TIFF. Analysis starts only when you click.
Designed for screenshots, exports, and transparent assets
Inspect PNG chunks that often hide workflow, author, software, copyright, timestamp, and color information.
Chunk-focused results
Review tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, eXIf, and iCCP data when those PNG chunks are present and readable.
Screenshot privacy checks
Separate hidden metadata risks from visible screenshot risks such as emails, browser tabs, customer names, or internal URLs.
Pipeline verification
Check the final PNG after design export, optimization, or build processing because each step can rewrite metadata.
Check the PNG that will actually be published
PNG metadata behavior changes across screenshot tools, design apps, optimizers, and CDNs.
Upload the final PNG
Use the file that will go into documentation, a repository, a ticket, a download, or a web page.
Inspect text and profile chunks
Look for author, software, copyright, comments, creation time, description, source, and ICC profile data.
Compare after cleanup
When cleanup is available, inspect the downloaded PNG again and visually compare color-sensitive assets.
PNG inspection runs locally
The PNG is parsed in your browser. Hidden metadata review does not upload the selected file to this site.
- Metadata cleanup cannot remove private text that is visible inside the screenshot pixels.
- Display-related data such as ICC profiles may matter for color and should be reviewed before stripping.
- Optimizers and CDNs can change metadata later, so inspect the served file when the final delivery path matters.
PNG metadata questions
Answers specific to PNG text chunks, screenshots, and display metadata.
Yes. PNG files can contain text chunks, software names, copyright notes, timestamps, ICC profiles, and sometimes EXIF or XMP data.
No. Metadata cleanup only handles supported hidden metadata. Visible emails, URLs, names, or secrets must be removed from the pixels before export.
ICC or related display chunks may affect rendering. Keeping or removing them is a publication decision, not only a privacy decision.
The screenshot tool, design app, optimizer, or a previous export may already have removed text chunks. A result with no readable common fields is useful, but it does not describe unsupported private chunks or visible text in the pixels.
Yes when the delivery path matters. CMS plugins, build tools, image optimizers, and CDNs can preserve, remove, or rewrite chunks after your local export. Check the final file users can download or view.
No. The selected PNG is parsed in the browser for metadata viewing and supported cleanup. Still review the privacy practices of any separate service you use to host, preview, or distribute the image.
