### Image metadata analysis

This image analysis tool shows you metadata like Exif, IPTC, XML, ICC color profiles hidden in your image or photo.

This can be useful for security reasons in the field of forensics, but it can also help developers in the field of digital image processing to analyze what compression settings were used when generating the image (e.g. estimated JPEG quality) and how well the compression works (look for PNG compression view).

Also, for commercial sites, it can be useful to check the copyright and licensing notices that may have been placed in the images.

### Features

- Extracts Exif, IPTC, XMP, Photoshop’s own data
- Extract embedded ICC profile (downloadable)
- JPEG: Quantization tables (luminance and chroma)
- JPEG: Embedded thumbnail preview
- JPEG: Estimated quality level based on quantization tables
- JPEG: Linked OSM and Google Maps location based on embedded GPS data
- PNG: Compression view
- PNG: Separated alpha channel for “dirty transparency” check
- … much more

I would LOVE a standalone Desktop software like this. Anyone know of one that’s cracked? I have thousands of images I need to scan. Thanks
