Short answer

How do I check image metadata with AI?

You provide an image file to your AI client, and it uses the inspect_single_image tool to extract hidden technical details. This reveals specific SEO violations like missing alt text or oversized files. You get a clear list of what needs fixing.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI processes the file and categorizes the findings into these four areas.

TECHNICAL

File size and format

The AI checks if the image is too heavy or in a non-web-friendly format. You get the exact dimensions and byte size.

SEO

Metadata and alt text

The agent looks for missing alt attributes or empty title tags. This tells you exactly what's missing for search engines.

VIOLATIONS

SEO error list

The AI flags specific issues that violate best practices. You receive a direct list of what to fix to improve rankings.

HUMAN

Manual fixes needed

The AI identifies the problems, but you must perform the actual edits. You decide how to rewrite alt text or compress the file.

The workflow

What your AI does when the image arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading file headers and metadata fields.

  1. Extract metadata

    The agent reads the raw data embedded in the image file.

  2. Identify SEO gaps

    The AI compares the extracted data against standard SEO requirements.

  3. Calculate file weight

    The agent determines if the file size will slow down your page load speeds.

  4. Report violations

    The AI summarizes the findings into a readable list of errors.
