pngcheck is a command-line utility to check PNG image files for validity and to give information about metadate inside the file (apart from the actual image data).
This unofficial version is forked from pngcheck 3.0.3 (see 3.0.3 README) and adds the following new features:
- Coding Independent Code Points
cICP - Mastering Display Color Volume
mDCV - Content Light Level Information
cLLI - Animated PNG
acTL,fcTLandfdAT
It also warns if eXIf is found after the image data IDAT,
which will be ignored by web browsers
and is no longer valid in PNG Third Edition.
Sample usage:
$ pngcheck -c -v test_pattern-PQ.png
