Inspect first
Privacy and file inspection tools
Use this collection when a file came from another source, failed upload, looks renamed, might contain metadata, or needs a safer sharing copy.
Step 1
Identify and verify files
Compare file type, extension, metadata, and byte-level checksums before opening, extracting, uploading, or converting a file.
Step 2
Inspect archives before extracting
List archive contents and paths first, then extract only when the package looks expected and stays within browser-local safety limits.
Step 3
Review PDF sharing risks
Check metadata, XMP, attachments, JavaScript, open actions, link schemes, layers, and redaction-like signals without claiming malware or legal review.
Step 4
Clean common metadata copies
Create cleaner PDF or image sharing copies where supported, then verify the result with metadata and checksum tools before sending.
Workflow notes and help
Inspect file identity, metadata, checksums, archives, PDFs, images, and document risks before opening or sharing files.
