FREE FILE SHARING CHECK

Check Image Metadata Before Sharing

Before you upload, send, or publish a supported image, check it locally for location, device, author, copyright, EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and text metadata. Standard scanning happens locally in your browser.

Processed locally in your browser

For standard scans, CheckBefore processes the selected file in your browser. Your original file and its filename are not uploaded to CheckBefore for that scan, and the original stays unchanged.

How it works

Choose your file, review detected sharing risks, remove only items marked safe to remove, then verify the resulting copy before download.

FAQ

Does CheckBefore guarantee a file is safe?

No. A result reflects only the supported checks performed. Review visible content and every item marked for a manual check before sharing.
