Image Metadata Viewer

How it works

This image metadata viewer reads EXIF data directly from your image files using the browser's File API and ArrayBuffer. For JPEG and TIFF files, it parses the APP1 marker to extract EXIF tags including camera make, model, exposure settings, ISO, focal length, and more. Basic file info like dimensions, file size, and format are available for all image types.

Your images are never sent to a server. All parsing happens locally in your browser, which makes the tool fast and private. It works on any modern browser, on both mobile and desktop.

Want proof? Open your browser's developer tools and watch the network tab while you work: your images never upload.

Frequently asked questions

Which image formats can it read metadata from?

Embedded EXIF is read from JPEG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF files. XMP is read from JPEG, PNG, and WebP, and IPTC is read from JPEG only. Other formats still show basic file info such as dimensions, type, and size, but they will not list camera or descriptive tags.

Why does my photo show no EXIF data?

Most social networks and messaging apps strip metadata when you upload or download an image, and screenshots or exported edits usually contain none to begin with. If the tool reports no EXIF, the data was almost always removed before the file reached you, not missed by the parser.

Can it show where a photo was taken?

Yes. When an image carries GPS tags, the tool decodes latitude, longitude, and altitude and offers a geo: link that opens the coordinates in your device's default maps app. It never sends the location to a third party such as Google Maps.

Is anything uploaded when I view metadata?

No. The file is read into memory with the browser File API and parsed as an ArrayBuffer on your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or tracked, so it is safe to inspect private or sensitive images.
