Check an image for hidden metadata risk.

The paid desktop workflow

See the actual Windows app before you buy.

The free tool above handles one image. The paid LocalVeil Studio app keeps files on your Windows PC and adds repeatable image, PDF, Word, Excel, and text-redaction workflows with clean-copy export.

01

What is checked

JPEG APP markers, PNG metadata chunks, and WebP EXIF/XMP/ICC chunks are inspected structurally. Metadata values are not rendered.

02

What is not proven

A clear result is not proof of anonymity. Review visible pixels, filenames, unsupported metadata, and the final exported file before sharing.

03

What changes

The selected source never changes. The free action creates a separately re-encoded PNG; the paid Windows app adds batch, PDF, Word, Excel, and repeatable desktop workflows.
