When the block is downloaded as PNG image from block editor, It stores some information to decode when it is dragged to block editor back.
My question is how it stores information in PNG image?
Can I extract that information (probably XML file) from PNG image by using any tool?

This page says
Blocks images created in this way contain additional metadata in the image that stores the block code in a machine readable format.
How can I extract that XML file from image
@dora_paz
Can you suggest me a tool for that
I searched for online metadata extractors but it did not help
Haven’t search it but what are you trying to achieve by that ?
The guide lists some programs you can use to extract the XML. If you’re on Windows, notepad should work fine
Should I convert .png to .txt?
Keep the discussion here instead of going to another topic. Why not try if it works.
