pngcheck

print info and check PNG, JNG and MNG files

pngcheck verifies the integrity of PNG, JNG and MNG files (by checking the internal 32-bit CRCs or checksums) and optionally dumps almost all of the chunk-level information in the image in human-readable form. For example, it can be used to print the basic stats about an image (dimensions, bit depth, etc.); to list the color and transparency info in its palette; or to extract the embedded text annotations. All PNG and JNG chunks are supported, plus almost all MNG chunks (everything but PAST, DISC, tERm, DROP, DBYK, and ORDR). This is a command-line program with batch capabilities (e.g., pngcheck *.png). Also includes pngsplit which can split a PNG, MNG or JNG file into individual, numbered chunks.

Installing pngcheck command is simple. just copy one of the above commands for your operating system and paste it into terminal. This command is available for Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, Raspbian and macOS operating systems. Once you run the command it will install the latest version of pngcheck 2026 package in your OS.
