Image Details

Image Details is the Pixel Flow workspace for reviewing one image. You can inspect dimensions, format, source URL, page context, EXIF, AI fingerprint, AIGC parameters, animation frames, SVG structure, download actions, and conversion options. It gives you reviewable clues, not proof of image rights.

Where To Open Image Details

You can open single-image analysis from several places:

  1. Hover an image card in the capture feed or library, then click View Details.
  2. Select images in the capture feed or library, then click Quick Preview to review them one by one in Preview.
  3. Right-click an image on the web page and choose Deep Parse Image.

The image card toolbar can open details, search, favorite, or download. After opening details, decide whether to copy fields, open the source, or continue analysis.

When the Side Panel is already open, Image Details usually appears there. Batch preview or deep parsing from the context menu may open the Preview page. Both places use the same analysis logic; the main difference is layout and browsing mode.

Start With Basic Info And Source

After opening Image Details, confirm the basic fields first:

  • Image URL: the direct address Pixel Flow used to read the image.
  • Source page URL: the page where the image was first detected.
  • Page title and site name: context for understanding how the image was used.
  • Dimensions, format, and file size: useful for download, design, publishing, or delivery decisions.
  • Alt text: if the source page provided alt text, it can be a context clue.
  • Action timeline: see whether the image was favorited, downloaded, or processed again.
Source information is not permission proof

Source URLs, page titles, alt text, and download records only help you review context. Before publishing, client delivery, commercial use, or dataset preparation, separately confirm image rights, site terms, likeness rights, and trademark limits.

Then Review Metadata And Technical Clues

After the basic fields, review available technical clues by image format. Different formats preserve different data, and Pixel Flow does not invent fields that are not present in the source file.

TypeWhat you may seeWhat to remember
EXIF / camera parametersCamera, lens, exposure, focal length, GPS, softwareMany platforms strip EXIF; empty fields are not unusual
Color and format dataColor space, bit depth, ICC, format traitsUseful for display, print, or delivery risk checks
GIF / WebP / AVIF animationFrames, animation info, frame download actionsSome actions may depend on format, quota, or account access
SVGVector structure, path complexity, redundancy, accessibility cluesSVG behaves more like code than a photo

Camera parameters and lifecycle fields depend on whether the image retained metadata. Social platforms, compression services, and editing tools often remove these fields.

How To Read AI Fingerprint And AIGC Parameters

AI fingerprint detection and AIGC parameter parsing are supporting signals, not final evidence.

  • AI fingerprint detection: highlights possible generation, editing, or compression clues. It is a prompt for review, not a verdict.
  • AIGC parameters: appear only when the image file or source preserved generation metadata.
  • Possible fields: Prompt, Negative Prompt, Seed, Sampler, Steps, CFG, model, LoRA, Workflow JSON, and related fields.
  • Empty results have causes: platform stripping, recompression, screenshots, re-exporting, or format conversion can remove parameters.
Treat AI / AIGC results as review clues

“No AI features detected” does not prove an image was made by a human. Detected AI or AIGC clues also do not automatically determine rights status.

If a generation tool wrote parameters into the image, the AIGC panel attempts to show readable fields. If the parameters were removed, the panel may be empty.

What You Can Do Next

When you need to keep working with the image, use these actions from Image Details.

Open Source LinkReturn to the source page or image resource URL to review context, rights language, and placement.
Copy Image InformationMove dimensions, format, source URL, and page context into tickets, spreadsheets, or project notes.
Google Reverse Image SearchUse an external search service to look for similar images, possible original sources, or public distribution paths.
Download Original And VariantsSave the original, thumbnail, responsive size, or CDN variant when available, while keeping source records.
Download Animation Frame PackagesSplit GIF, animated WebP, and similar files into frame images for design review, asset checks, or static previews.
Convert WebP / AVIF To PNG / JPEGExport a more common image format when team tools, client systems, or upload platforms do not support newer formats.
