WEBP · EXIF / XMP CHECK
Check metadata in a WebP image
WebP can carry metadata chunks alongside the encoded image, including supported EXIF and XMP information.
Quick answer
A WebP file can contain EXIF or XMP metadata in addition to the image data itself. Inspect the file before publishing so camera, time, location or workflow information does not travel unintentionally.
Metadata fields to review
| Field / area | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| EXIF | Camera and capture metadata | May include device, timestamp or GPS-related information. |
| XMP | Extensible metadata | Can contain creator, editing or workflow information. |
| Image data | Encoded WebP content | Visible pixels remain separate from metadata cleanup. |
| Other RIFF chunks | Container data | Not every chunk is necessarily metadata targeted by the cleaner. |
