Photo metadata checker online
Drop a JPG — the tool shows which metadata is actually embedded: title, description, keywords, and the JFIF marker without which Adobe Stock may ignore the XMP. Free, no sign-up, the file is not stored.
How to use
Verify any stock-ready JPG before you upload to Adobe Stock or another agency.
- Choose a JPG file (up to 30 MB).
- In a moment you will see embedded XMP title, description, keywords and whether a JFIF marker is present.
- If keywords are missing or JFIF is marked bad, fix the file in Stock Meta or your editor, then check again.
Why this matters for Adobe Stock
Adobe Stock reads embedded XMP. A missing JFIF APP0 before the XMP packet is a common reason tags look empty in Contributor. See why Adobe Stock ignores metadata and how many keywords you need.

Is my file uploaded or stored anywhere?
Processed in server memory and discarded immediately. We do not store your images.
Why does my file have no metadata?
XMP appears after export from Lightroom/Bridge or after a service like Stock Meta. Midjourney downloads usually have no XMP.
What is the JFIF marker?
A JPEG APP0 segment. Without it, some Adobe pipelines skip XMP even when the packet exists. Stock Meta writes JFIF when embedding.
Does this work for PNG?
This checker targets JPG masters. Convert PNG to JPG first, then inspect.
Can I embed metadata here?
Inspection only. Batch generate-and-embed is in the Stock Meta app.
