View photo metadata

Photos carry hidden details: the camera and settings used, when they were taken, and often exactly where. See everything your file contains.

Drop an image hereAdd an image

JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF, up to 80 MB. You can also paste an image.

Read on your device. Your image and its metadata are never uploaded.

How it works

  1. Your browser reads the metadata sections of the file. The image itself doesn’t need to be opened.
  2. Common details are shown in plain language, with every raw tag available underneath.
  3. If you want, download a copy with the metadata removed.

Your image stays on your device

This tool runs entirely in your browser. The image is never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to store, see or delete.

To check, open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab and use the tool: you will not see your image being sent anywhere.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read and processed by your own browser. Nothing is sent to our servers, so there is no copy of your image anywhere but your own device.

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is information your camera or phone saves inside a photo: the device, lens, exposure settings, date and time, and often the GPS location where it was taken.

Why is no location shown for my photo?

Location is only saved if it was switched on for the camera app, and many apps and social networks remove it when you upload or share. If nothing is shown, the file you have does not contain it.

Can it read iPhone HEIC photos?

Yes. The metadata in HEIC photos can be read even in browsers that cannot display the image itself.
