Does Inspect upload the photo?
No. The file is read in this browser. A map sends coordinates only, after you ask for one.

Questions
Does Inspect use the free clean?
No. Inspect does not download a file and does not use the free clean. Cleaning one image does.
Which tags show up?
GPS, camera, XMP, IPTC, C2PA, and AI markers this reader parsed. MakerNotes and a full ExifTool dump are not printed.
Can it show where the photo was taken?
Yes, when the file has coordinates. If those tags are missing, the card says so. It does not guess a place from the picture.
Which formats can it read?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, and BMP. PDF and Word have their own pages. Video is not supported.
