Image Inspector: Check Image Size, Type, and Data URI
The Image Inspector loads an image in your browser and shows its natural dimensions, MIME type, and file size alongside a live preview. It also provides the image’s embeddable data: URI. Paste or drop an image to inspect it, then copy what you need. Nothing is uploaded, so it’s handy for checking pixel dimensions or getting a data URI without sending the image to a server.
The Image Inspector is a browser-based image inspector for checking an image’s natural dimensions, MIME type, and file size. It displays a live preview and the image’s embeddable data: URI, making it easier to inspect image properties without opening other tools. Paste or drop an image to get started.
The tool loads the image in your browser and reports its properties alongside the preview. Natural dimensions show the image’s pixel size, while the MIME type identifies its media type and the file size reports how much data the image contains. The displayed data: URI provides an embeddable representation of the image. The described workflow focuses on inspection rather than conversion and does not list configurable options.
Image files can be inspected visually in the preview, while details such as dimensions, MIME type, and file size provide information that may not be obvious from looking at the image. A data: URI is useful when you need an image represented as a URI for embedding. These details can help developers check an image before using it in code or verify its real pixel dimensions.
Image Inspector runs entirely in your browser: the image is processed on your device and nothing is uploaded or sent to a server. Once the page has loaded, it works offline without a server connection. This makes it a private way to inspect an image and copy its data: URI.
Developers and DevOps engineers can use the tool to preview images, confirm their properties, or retrieve a data: URI. It can also help anyone who needs to check an image before using it in a project, without installing a separate image-inspection tool.
Step 1: Paste or drop an image into the Image Inspector. The tool loads it in your browser for inspection.
Step 2: Review the live image preview. This helps you confirm you are looking at the image you intended to check.
Step 3: Check the reported natural dimensions, MIME type, and file size. These details describe the loaded image.
Step 4: Copy what you need, including the embeddable data: URI. Use it when you need the image represented as a URI.
Use case: Check an image someone sent you before adding it to a project. The preview and reported properties help you verify what you received.
Use case: Confirm an image’s natural pixel dimensions before using it in a page or application. This gives you the image’s actual dimensions to work with.
Use case: Review an image’s MIME type when checking what kind of image file you have. The inspector reports the type alongside the preview.
Use case: Check an image’s file size before deciding whether it is suitable for a particular use. The reported size makes that information easy to find.
Use case: Get an embeddable data: URI for an image. The inspector displays the URI so you can copy what you need.
Use case: Preview an image and check its details without uploading it to a server. This is useful when you want to inspect an image privately in your browser.
