Image Metadata Viewer
See every EXIF tag, camera detail, and GPS coordinate hidden inside your image.
Private by design. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to a server — metadata is read and removed locally using the same Canvas and File APIs that power the rest of the site.
Every photo from a phone or camera carries a hidden layer of metadata: the camera make and model, the lens, the exposure settings, the date and time, often the exact GPS coordinates of where it was taken. Most of the time you can't see any of it. This viewer reads the file directly in your browser, parses the EXIF block, and shows everything in a single readable page.
Nothing is uploaded. The file you drop is parsed locally using the browser's File API — useful for checking what a photo will reveal before you publish or share it. You can copy the parsed metadata or export it as JSON.

Frequently asked questions
- What metadata can you see in a photo?
- JPEG images from modern phones and cameras typically include the camera make and model, lens information, capture date and time, exposure settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed), orientation, software used to edit the file, and — when location services are enabled — the exact GPS coordinates and altitude of where the photo was taken.
- Is my image uploaded anywhere?
- No. The viewer reads the file directly in your browser using the File and Canvas APIs. The image bytes never leave your device. The page works fully offline once it has loaded.
- Which formats are supported?
- Full EXIF parsing is supported for JPEG. PNG and WebP files have pixel dimensions, bit depth and colour profile information extracted; the formats rarely carry EXIF in practice but the viewer will display anything it finds. HEIC photos from iPhone need converting to JPG first — use the HEIC to JPG tool.
- Can I copy or export the metadata?
- Yes. Use the Copy metadata button to put a plain-text summary on your clipboard, or Export JSON to download the parsed metadata as a JSON file for use elsewhere.
- How do I remove the metadata after viewing it?
- Use the dedicated Remove image metadata, Remove EXIF, or Remove GPS tools — all linked below. Each runs entirely in your browser, just like this viewer.
