Invisor For Mac

Media files usually contain extensive information relating to the file itself, the content, the device that was used to capture it, location data, and much more. This info isn’t always easily accessible, though, and comparing files isn’t straightforward.

Invisor is a pretty cool app designed to help you analyze multiple files’ metadata and quickly compare the information. It can be used for videos, music, and photos, and it presents the data in a clear, simple interface.

You can just drop a file or folder in the main window at any time to get info about one or more items. Files are listed on the left, and you can even use Quick Look to get a full-size preview of them while navigating. Filtering is also available, but there’s no automatic sorting.

The General tab provides some basic information, with all available data listed in the Extended tab. Any detail you could wish for will be found here. If you can’t find something, it wasn’t in the file’s metadata to begin with.

Individual videos, songs, or images can be inspected easily with various other tools, but where this app really shines is its ability to list multiple files for easy comparison. Note that this isn’t available in the Lite version, along with the export functionality.

To compare files, go to the last tab, aptly named Comparison. Files will be shown in a table, differences will be highlighted, and you can search for specific pieces of data. You can even see how many times as certain value appears in each row.

If you’re dealing with a growing collection of files and need to inspect and compare their metadata, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better solution. Invisor is very easy to use, and the UI is data-oriented without unnecessary embellishments.
