How Metadata Extraction Works
File metadata is embedded information stored within files themselves. FolderManifest extracts this data without modifying your files, giving you insight into document properties, image settings, and file history.
Document Metadata
- • Author and creator information
- • Creation and modification dates
- • Document titles and subjects
- • Page, slide, or word counts
- • Software used to create the file
Media Metadata
- • Camera make and model (EXIF)
- • GPS location data
- • Image dimensions and resolution
- • Audio/video duration and codec
- • Album, artist, and genre tags
