About the Image Metadata Viewer

The Image Metadata Viewer reads a photo's basic file information — name, type, size, and dimensions — and, when present, its embedded EXIF data such as camera make and model, exposure settings, capture date, and GPS coordinates.

Everything happens locally in your browser using the File and DataView APIs. Your image is never uploaded anywhere, making this a safe way to check what information a photo might be carrying before you share it.

How to Use This Tool

1

Choose an image

Select a JPG, PNG, WEBP, or other image file from your device.

2

View the extracted metadata

File details and, for JPEGs with EXIF data, camera and shooting information appear instantly.

3

Copy or review a field

Scan the table for the details you need — dimensions, camera model, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and more.

Common Use Cases

  • Checking for Privacy Leaks: See whether a photo embeds GPS coordinates or a device serial number before sharing it publicly.

  • Verifying Camera Settings: Inspect the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focal length used to capture a shot.

  • Confirming Capture Date: Check a photo's original timestamp, which can differ from its file-modified date.

  • Debugging Image Pipelines: Verify that an image processing step preserved or stripped EXIF data as expected.
