About this Tool
Use this free File Metadata Viewer to inspect the information your browser provides for a selected file, including its name, extension, reported MIME type, size, and last modified date. Browser access to local files is intentionally limited, so properties such as the full file path, owner, permissions, and operating-system attributes are not available. The file is inspected locally and is not uploaded.
Examples
- photo.jpg
- document.pdf
- spreadsheet.xlsx
