Our Services

Our Metadata Analysis service reveals the often-overlooked information embedded within digital files. This hidden data—known as metadata—can expose a file’s origin, creation/modification timeline, device details, and usage history. It plays a crucial role in verifying authenticity, detecting tampering, and supporting digital investigations.

We apply forensic tools like ExifTool and PDF Analyzer to extract and analyze metadata from files including images, videos, PDFs, Office documents, and emails.

This service is essential for legal cases, fraud investigations, insurance claims, internal audits, and verifying deepfakes or manipulated content.

What Metadata We Can Extract & Analyze:

Image Files (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.):

• Camera make, model, and serial number

• Date and time of capture (EXIF timestamps)

• GPS coordinates (if geotagging is enabled)

• Software used to edit or save the image

• Modification history and compression metadata

Video Files (MP4, MOV, AVI, etc.):

• Recording device details (phone, camera, etc.)

• Frame rate, resolution, encoding data

• Date/time created and modified

• GPS location (if available)

• Editing software traces

PDF & Document Files (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, etc.):

• Author name and organization

• Creation and last modified dates

• Document versioning and editing history

• Hidden text or metadata fields

• Print and save history

Emails (PST, EML, MBOX):

• Sender IP address and mail server path

• Timestamps (sent, received, opened)

• BCC/CC recipient lists

• Attachments and content hashing

• Indicators of spoofing or email forging

⚠️ Metadata Availability Disclaimer

While we use advanced forensic tools to extract metadata from digital files, 100% metadata retrieval is not always possible. The availability and completeness of metadata depend on several factors, including:

• File format and software used to create or modify the file

• Whether metadata has been stripped, anonymized, or altered

• File transfer methods (e.g., via social media or messaging apps that remove metadata)

• Compression or editing history

• Operating system and application behavior

We always strive to extract all recoverable metadata; however, missing or altered metadata is common, especially in files edited, exported, or shared via third-party platforms. In such cases, we document findings transparently and may use supplementary forensic methods to verify authenticity or origin.
