MetadataFox is a metadata viewer for people who need to inspect information stored inside documents and media files. It supports Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, OpenOffice.org and StarOffice documents, AVI video, WAV audio, JPEG and PNG images, and XMP files. Rather than opening each item in its usual editing or playback application, users can use MetadataFox to explore the metadata associated with supported files.
Metadata is information attached to a file that can help identify or describe it. In office documents, this may include document properties; in image, audio and video files, it can include information recorded alongside the media. MetadataFox brings these different file types into one tool for inspection, which is useful when reviewing a mixed collection or checking what details a file contains before sharing or organizing it. The exact information available depends on the format and the metadata saved in each file.
The supported formats cover everyday office work as well as common images and media. A user can examine a Word document, spreadsheet or presentation, then inspect a JPEG, WAV recording or AVI clip without switching to a different metadata utility for each type. Support for XMP files also makes the program relevant to workflows that use this metadata format directly. MetadataFox is focused on exploring file metadata; it is not presented as an editor for document contents or a media playback application.
Typical uses include checking file properties during document review, examining metadata in an archive of images or recordings, and investigating what information accompanies files before distributing them. It may also help users become familiar with metadata across several formats from a single Windows application. The amount and usefulness of the displayed information vary with the file, because metadata may be absent or limited.
MetadataFox is trialware and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. Its stated Windows support includes Windows 10, alongside earlier Windows releases; Windows 11 support is not established here. The program is intended for users who need a straightforward way to inspect metadata in its supported document, image, audio, video and XMP formats.
