Field notes
The homepage presents file inspection as a local browser workflow: choose multiple files, a folder, or paste a copied image, then move among Summary, Metadata, Content, Structure, Bytes, Compression, and Compare views. Demonstrations use labeled sample values, including GPS coordinates, owner and camera details, and a PDF warning that searchable text remains. The page says files stay in the tab and identifies the project as open source; the extracted evidence does not show the complete removal sequence.
