Image Metadata Viewer (EXIF)
Image Metadata Viewer reveals the hidden EXIF data inside your photos — camera and lens, capture date, exposure settings and even GPS coordinates — so you can see exactly what a file discloses before you share it. Think of it as an online ExifTool for quick checks: drop in a photo and read every field, all locally in your browser.

To check an image's metadata, open the photo here — every EXIF field it contains is listed instantly: camera make and model, lens, capture date and time, exposure settings, software used, and GPS coordinates if the photo is geotagged (shown with a map link). The file is read locally in your browser, like a web-based ExifTool — nothing is uploaded.
🔒 Metadata is read in your browser — your image is never uploaded.
How to use Image Metadata Viewer (EXIF)
- Choose a JPEG, PNG, TIFF or HEIC image.
- Review all the metadata fields found — camera, dates, settings, software.
- Check whether it contains GPS location you may want to remove before sharing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check the metadata of an image?
Open the image on this page — all embedded EXIF metadata is extracted and listed immediately, with no software to install. It works like ExifTool, but online and without the file leaving your device.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG carries the richest EXIF; PNG, TIFF and HEIC files can also include metadata (creation software, timestamps, text chunks), which is shown when present.
Does it show where a photo was taken?
Yes — if the photo embeds GPS coordinates, they're shown with a map link so you can see the exact location. Use the Metadata Remover to strip them before sharing.
Why does my image show no metadata?
Social media platforms (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook…) and many messaging apps strip EXIF on upload, and screenshots never have camera EXIF. Only originals straight from a camera or phone carry full metadata.
Is my photo uploaded?
No — metadata is read locally in your browser; the image never leaves your device.
