What is image metadata?
Metadata is information stored alongside image content. Depending on the file, it may include camera manufacturer, camera model, capture settings, or editing software.

THE EXPLAINER
What you should know.
Understand the available evidence and its limitations.
Why might EXIF information be missing?
Social platforms, messaging applications, exports, and screenshots may remove metadata. Missing EXIF does not indicate AI generation.
Can metadata prove an image is authentic?
No. Ordinary EXIF fields are not cryptographic proof and can be edited. Signed provenance records are a separate mechanism.
COMMON QUESTIONS
The details matter.
Clear answers about what image verification can and cannot establish.
Which formats does ImageProof support?+
JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 10 MB.
Does ImageProof display GPS coordinates?+
No. The current metadata report does not extract or display GPS coordinates.
VERIFY WITH CONTEXT
Evidence, not assumptions.
AI detection is an estimate. Metadata and provenance provide additional context, not absolute proof.
