Image Metadata Viewer (EXIF, GPS, XMP)

Every digital photo carries more than pixels. This viewer reveals the hidden information stored inside image files: camera and lens, exposure settings, date taken, GPS location, software used, color profile and more. Drop a JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP or TIFF file above, or try the sample photo.

What the viewer reads

  • File details — real format (detected from the file signature, not the extension), dimensions, megapixels, bit depth, color type, compression, density in DPI and whether an ICC color profile is embedded.
  • EXIF tags — make, model, lens, exposure time, aperture (f-number), ISO, focal length, flash, metering, white balance, orientation and timestamps.
  • GPS — latitude, longitude and altitude, converted to decimal degrees with a link to the spot on OpenStreetMap.
  • PNG text chunks — keywords like Software, Author or AI-generation parameters stored by image tools.
  • GIF details — frame count, total duration and loop setting.
  • Comments and XMP packets written by editors like Photoshop or Lightroom.

Why check image metadata?

Privacy: a photo shared as a file can reveal where you live or where you were. Check pictures before posting them on forums, marketplaces or sending them to strangers, and remove the data if needed. Photography: compare settings between shots to learn what worked. Verification: journalists and researchers use metadata as one clue when checking whether an image is what it claims to be — though metadata can be edited, so it is never proof alone. Troubleshooting: find out why an image appears rotated (orientation tag) or why colors shift (missing or unusual color profile).

Export and clean

Copy the full table as JSON, download it as CSV for a spreadsheet, or save a clean copy of the image with all metadata removed. To edit the image itself, see the Image Flipper or Censored Image tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata that cameras and phones write into JPEG, TIFF, HEIC and some PNG/WebP files. It records the camera make and model, the date and time, exposure settings, lens, orientation and often the GPS position where the photo was taken.

Most social networks and messaging apps strip EXIF when you upload a photo, and screenshots or images exported for the web usually have none. If you need the original data, use the file straight from the camera or phone.

Click “Download copy without metadata”. The tool redraws the pixels into a new file, which drops EXIF, GPS, XMP and text chunks. Note that this also removes the orientation tag, so the copy is saved the way your browser displays it.

No. The file is read with JavaScript in your browser. Nothing, including the GPS coordinates, is sent to a server.
