Question

I need a sample image containing Microsoft Metadata

Ian Hicks 0

For a project about Metadata, I need a sample image/video containing Microsoft Metadata. It seems that Sharepoint can insert it, but I have no need for that tool, just to get a sample of metadata.
Does someone or some site have an image with Microsoft tags?

Hello @Ian Hicks

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand you’re looking for a sample image or video that contains Microsoft-style metadata, similar to what’s used in SharePoint or other Microsoft tools, without needing to rely on SharePoint itself.

At this time, Microsoft does not provide a public repository of media files pre-populated with “Microsoft metadata.”

However, the metadata used across Microsoft services (SharePoint, OneDrive, Windows, etc.) is based on standard formats, such as:

EXIF (camera/device info, timestamps)

IPTC/XMP (descriptive tags like title, author, keywords)

Windows file properties (Title, Tags, Comments, Author, Company)

These can be easily created and will behave the same way in Microsoft ecosystems.

Clarification to better assist you

To point you to the most relevant sample (or create one for you), could you please confirm:

Which metadata type are you looking for?

EXIF (camera/timestamp data)

IPTC/XMP (tags, copyright, keywords)

SharePoint-style custom properties (Title, Category, Company)

What file type do you need?

JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or video

Do you prefer:

A ready-made sample file, or

Guidance/scripts to generate one

If SharePoint metadata is the goal, are you using:

SharePoint Online or on-prem?

Thank you.
I have images containing all sorts of EXIF, ITPC (and even some QuickTime).
But from what I've gleaned, some AI-related content can be loaded into images (I suspect by SharePoint and other software).

I saw (somewhere) a JSON file that apprently had been exported from one of these images, but as there wasn't the image I just skimmed past.

A sample JPEG or PNG which contains some of these tags is what I'm looking for. Maybe a landscape scene ot a building.

Hi @Ian Hicks

At this time, Microsoft does not provide a public repository of media files pre-populated with Microsoft-specific metadata.

However, the metadata used across Microsoft services (such as Windows, OneDrive, and SharePoint) is based on standard metadata formats, including:

EXIF – camera/device info, timestamps

IPTC/XMP – title, author, keywords, copyright

Windows file properties – Title, Tags, Comments, Author, Company

These formats are fully compatible with Microsoft tools, so creating a sample file locally will accurately reflect how metadata behaves in Microsoft environments.

Recommended approach

You can easily create your own sample file with “Microsoft-style metadata”:

1: Using Windows

Take any .jpg or .png image

Right-click --> Properties --> Details tab

Add values such as:

Title

Subject

Tags

Authors

Comments

Click Apply

This will embed metadata in a way that is fully compatible with Microsoft ecosystems, including SharePoint.

2: Using external tools

If you need more advanced or structured metadata:

Use tools like ExifTool or similar editors

Add fields like:

XMP:Title

XMP:Creator

XMP:Description

Keywords

Thank you!
