# 📂 Metadata Extractor Pro
Metadata Extractor Pro is a powerful, GUI-based tool for extracting metadata from various file formats and scanning them for potential malicious indicators. Whether you're a cybersecurity analyst, digital forensic examiner, or a curious user, this tool provides a comprehensive view into what's hidden behind the files you use every day.
## 🔍 Features
🖼 Image Metadata Extraction
Extracts EXIF metadata from image files (.jpg, .png, .tiff, etc.), including camera info, GPS data, and timestamps.
## 📄 Document Metadata Analysis
Parses metadata from:
**PDFs** (.pdf)
**Word documents** (.docx)
**Excel spreadsheets** (.xlsx)
## ⚙️ PE File Inspection
Reads internal structures of Windows executables (.exe) using pefile, revealing headers, sections, entry points, and more.
## 🛡 VirusTotal Integration
Automatically checks files against VirusTotal using their public API. If a file isn't found, it uploads it for live scanning.
## 📦 Generic File Fingerprinting
Displays file size, MIME type, and cryptographic hashes (MD5, SHA256) for any file format.
##🧵 Multithreaded UI with Animation
Responsive interface powered by Tkinter, providing visual feedback while scanning.
