About File Metadata

File Metadata is a free online tool that instantly reveals a file's basic properties — name, size, MIME type, last-modified date, and extension — read directly in your browser. Upload any file to see its details in seconds, with nothing ever sent to a server.

How to use File Metadata

  1. 1Click the upload area and select any file from your device.
  2. 2The tool reads the file's properties immediately — no extra button to click.
  3. 3Review the metadata: name, size, type, last modified date, and extension.
  4. 4Upload a different file at any time to see its metadata instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is File Metadata free to use?

Yes, it's completely free with no signup and no limit on how many files you can inspect.

What information does it show?

The file's name, size, MIME type, last-modified date, and extension — the standard properties the browser exposes for any file.

Does it show image dimensions or video duration?

Not currently — it only shows the file's basic filesystem-level properties, not embedded metadata like EXIF data, image dimensions, or media duration.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything is read locally via the browser's File API — your file never leaves your device.

Tips & Tricks

  • ✓Check the "last modified" date to quickly confirm which version of a file you're looking at.
  • ✓Use the "type" field to verify a file's actual MIME type when the extension alone looks unclear or has been changed.
  • ✓If the type shows as "Unknown," your browser couldn't detect the MIME type — the file may have an unusual or missing extension.
  • ✓For deeper metadata like camera EXIF data or image dimensions, you'll need a format-specific metadata tool.
