CMYK ↔ RGB ↔ HEX Color Converter
About Image Format Inspector
The Deep Image Format, Metadata & Magic Byte Inspector analyzes raw binary file headers (Magic Bytes), true MIME types, color profiles (sRGB, Display P3, Adobe RGB), color bit depth, alpha channel support, and EXIF/IPTC metadata.
How to Use Image Format Inspector
Step 1
Drag and drop any image file onto the inspector.
Step 2
Review the decoded true MIME type, magic bytes hex dump, and dimensions.
Step 3
Inspect embedded color profile (ICC) and EXIF metadata.
Step 4
Click "Copy Metadata JSON".
Practical Use Cases for Image Format Inspector
Detecting Spoofed File Extensions & True Image Formats
Verify if a file named `.jpg` is actually a renamed `.webp` or `.png` by analyzing its initial hexadecimal magic byte signature (`FF D8 FF`, `89 50 4E 47`, `52 49 46 46`).
Auditing Color Space Profiles for Web & Print Consistency
Inspect embedded ICC profiles to verify whether images are tagged with Wide Gamut Display P3 or standard sRGB to avoid washed-out colors on web displays.
Input & Output Examples
Inspecting Uploaded Image File
File: `sample_photo.jpg` (Magic Bytes: `89 50 4E 47 0D 0A 1A 0A`)
Actual Format: `PNG (Portable Network Graphics)` (Spoofed extension detected) | Bit Depth: 32-bit (RGBA) | Color Space: sRGB

Key Terminology & Definitions
Magic Bytes (File Signature)
The unique sequence of bytes at the very beginning of a file used by operating systems to identify the true file format regardless of file extension.
ICC Color Profile
A standardized binary data file that characterizes how a digital device maps colors, ensuring consistent color reproduction across screens and printers.
