The first recorded use of Metadata dates deep to the Great Library of Alexandria in 280 B.C. Nowadays the use is much wider and it is used in many different industries for many different purposes. PSD uses metadata to speed up the workflow, provide digital identification, and organize files and layers. It also makes it easier to understand and analyze the file’s content.
The most common reason to use our Metadata Viewer app for web users is to keep privacy everywhere you want to put your files (photos or documents) because it all contains a digital mark (creation date, location, personal information of your own or your software, etc.). If you can check online the metadata of your files so can anyone else. With our app you can be sure of the private information you are going to share with the world around you.
You will get the all inner information of your PSD or PSB file in a simple to understand table with 3 sections:
- Preview of the image and it layers;
- Description of the metadata source;
- Detailed metadata.
Our app works from any browser on any device. You don’t need to download special software to your device. All discovery and display processes run on our side on our servers so it does not take any resources from your side.
