# Metadata

Metadata will display any metadata associated with the image. For example, for JPEG images, it will show any EXIF data that is embedded in the image. For FITS files, it will display the FITS header.

**Section to Display**\
As some images contain extensive metadata, you can choose which part of the metadata to display. This option is not available for FITS files. You can copy data to the clipboard by clicking the right mouse button. This can be useful for inspecting XML packets, for example.
