About PixLab Forensic

What can you learn from a media file?

PixLab Forensic brings photo metadata, image inspection and audio playback into one browser workspace. It is built for investigators, analysts, journalists and law enforcement who need to examine a file before drawing conclusions.

Is it real?

Inspect the image and its recorded camera or software details for clues. These do not prove authenticity. Validated AI and tamper detection are planned.

Where and when was it captured?

Read GPS coordinates and capture dates when the photo contains them. Metadata can be missing or changed.

What is in it?

Zoom into photo details, or play a recording and follow its waveform. Automatic identification and transcription are planned.

Are there related files?

Similarity search and relationships between your files are planned. The current graph is a demonstration.

Frequently asked questions

What does PixLab Forensic do?

PixLab Forensic is a free online tool for inspecting photos, audio and video soundtracks. Open a file to read available camera details, recorded dates and GPS coordinates, zoom into an image, or view and play a recording's waveform. It helps investigators, analysts, journalists and law enforcement examine the clues a file contains.

How do I inspect a file?

Use Open a file in the sidebar, or drag a file onto that area. Choose one file at a time. Photos open in the image viewer with available metadata listed in the analysis panel. Audio and supported video files open in the waveform player.

Can I find where and when a photo was taken?

If a photo contains GPS coordinates and a capture date, PixLab Forensic reads them from its metadata. A map requires a Mapbox access token. Missing location or date information cannot be recovered from metadata, and recorded values can be edited, so they are clues rather than proof.

Can PixLab Forensic tell whether an image is fake or AI-generated?

It currently helps you inspect image details and metadata. The AI Generated action requires a connected server service; a validated AI detector, tamper-analysis tools and Content Credentials verification are planned. Metadata alone cannot prove that an image is authentic.

What can I do with audio and video?

Open a browser-supported audio file or video soundtrack to see its waveform, play it and follow the playback time. A waveform shows how the sound level changes over time. Transcription, speaker identification and video-frame analysis are planned.

Can I search for matching images or identify people?

Reverse image search, matching across your files and automatic identification are planned. The Entity Graph currently shows a demonstration, not relationships extracted from your files.

Does my media stay on my device?

Metadata reading, image viewing and waveform playback run in your browser. Loading a photo also requests a cloud AI summary using an image preview and metadata, and maps connect to Mapbox. This version is not an offline-only tool.

Is PixLab Forensic free, and do I need an account?

The browser workbench is free to use without an account or installation. Connected AI and map services require configuration and may have separate costs.
