Metadata Viewer
See exactly what your photos are telling everyone you send them to.
Drag & drop your image here, or click to choose. Everything is read in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Every photo carries metadata: the camera and lens, the exact settings, the date, the editing software, and very often the GPS coordinates of where it was taken. This viewer reads all of it — EXIF, IPTC and XMP — inside your browser, and warns you when a file contains location data. Nothing is uploaded, which matters more here than anywhere else on the site.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is stored in image metadata?
Typically the camera make and model, lens, shutter speed, aperture and ISO, the date and time, the software used to edit it, and on phone photos the GPS latitude and longitude. Professional files may also carry the photographer’s name, copyright and client notes.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The file is decoded and re-encoded directly in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly, and never leaves your device. That is what makes it safe for private photos, client work and anything confidential, and it is why the tool keeps working with your network disconnected once the page has loaded.
Can someone find my home address from a photo I posted?
If the photo still carries GPS metadata, yes — the coordinates are usually accurate to a few metres. Most large social networks strip metadata on upload, but files sent by email, messaging apps in "document" mode, or uploaded to a forum or your own site often keep it intact.
Why does my photo show no metadata at all?
It was probably stripped — social networks, screenshot tools and many chat apps remove it automatically. Re-saving an image in an editor or converting it to another format also drops most fields.
Does this work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android with nothing to install and no account needed. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are all supported.
