- Batch EXIF Extraction: Process hundreds of files simultaneously to pull deep metadata regardless of the image/video file type.
- Geospatial Visualization: Automatically plot GPS coordinates onto interactive maps for immediate situational awareness. Variety of mapping layers are available: (Forensic Dark, Forensic Light, Satelite Imagery, Topographic Terrain, Humanitarian (Rural) & Standard Street).
- Timeline Reconstruction: Generate a chronological flow of events based on image timestamps to track movement or verify alibis.
- Privacy-First OSINT: Run locally on your machine—no data is ever uploaded to external servers.
- Lightweight & Fast: Optimized for rapid analysis without heavy resource consumption.
- Dark & Light mode: Operate under any conditions, easilly toggle mode you chose via settings panel
- Image Preview: Preview images in the sidebar or directly by clicking on the map (toggle on & off via settings panel)
- Multi system support: Available on Windows, Linux & MacOS
- Utilizes industry standard ExifTool by Phil Harvey - as a exif data extraction engine, via node.js exiftool-vendored approach, supporting every image, video or filetype ever available!
