Question 1

What metadata can this tool detect?

Accepted Answer

The inspector reads EXIF data, PNG text chunks (tEXt, zTXt, iTXt), XMP metadata, and IPTC fields. It automatically identifies AI-generation metadata from ComfyUI (full workflow JSON, prompt, models), Midjourney (prompt, version, job ID, seed), Stable Diffusion (model, sampler, steps, CFG scale, seed), and other tools.

Question 2

Is my image uploaded to your servers?

Accepted Answer

Your file is sent to our server for metadata extraction (the extraction library requires server-side processing), but it is never stored. The file is processed in memory and immediately discarded after extraction. We do not log file contents or extracted metadata.

Question 3

What file types are supported?

Accepted Answer

PNG, JPEG, WebP, and MP4 files up to 25MB. PNG files typically contain the richest AI metadata (ComfyUI workflows, Stable Diffusion parameters). JPEG files may contain EXIF and XMP data. MP4 files from tools like ComfyUI may contain embedded workflow metadata.

Question 4

Why does my image show no metadata?

Accepted Answer

Some platforms strip metadata when you upload or share images. Social media sites (Twitter, Instagram, Discord) typically remove all embedded metadata. If you downloaded an image from social media, the original metadata is likely gone. For best results, use the original file directly from your AI tool.

Question 5

How is this different from a regular EXIF viewer?

Accepted Answer

Standard EXIF viewers only read camera metadata fields. This inspector also parses AI-specific metadata formats: ComfyUI workflow JSON embedded in PNG chunks, Stable Diffusion parameters in the "parameters" text chunk, Midjourney prompt data, and custom node information. It understands the structure of AI generation metadata, not just raw key-value pairs.
