Inspect file metadata | agent view
The same page content and links, with explicit tool capabilities. Tools marked with an API can run directly through HTTP. Other tools require the browser interface or are not connected yet.

How to use Inspect file metadata
- Choose a file in a supported format.
- Review the settings, then choose Run Inspect file metadata.
- Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.
Working with inspect file metadata
Password and passphrase generators need cryptographically secure randomness. Use a different password for every account and store it in a password manager. Metadata cleanup, visible redaction and content review address different information. Removing a file’s location metadata does not hide a street sign inside the image. Likewise, detecting a name in text is not a guarantee that every identifying detail has been found.
Common questions
Is hiding text with a colored box enough?
A visual cover can leave the original information in the file. A redaction workflow needs to remove the underlying content and verify the saved result.
Can automatic suggestions guarantee anonymity?
No. Context, indirect identifiers and missed entities can still identify someone. Use automated suggestions as a review aid and inspect the final output.
