Frequently Asked Questions

For JPEG photos: camera make and model, lens model, aperture (f-stop), shutter speed (exposure time), ISO sensitivity, focal length, flash status, exposure program, metering mode, white balance, date/time taken, color space, image dimensions, and orientation. PNG, WebP, and GIF show basic properties: dimensions, color mode, bit depth, and file size. GPS coordinates appear in a separate section when present.

Yes, if the photo has GPS EXIF data (common on smartphones). The tool shows latitude, longitude, altitude (if available), and a direct Google Maps link pinned to the exact location. This is useful for geotagged photography — and also for privacy audits before sharing photos online, since most people don't realize their phone embeds precise location data in every photo.

Aperture (f/1.8, f/5.6), shutter speed (1/500s, 1/30s), ISO (100, 3200), focal length (24mm, 85mm), flash on/off/forced, exposure compensation, and metering mode. This is valuable for learning from your own shots: you can see exactly what settings your camera used for a well-exposed photo and replicate them.

Smartphone photos embed GPS coordinates, device model, capture timestamp, and sometimes serial numbers in EXIF data by default. Before posting a photo online or sending it to someone, drop it here to see exactly what information it contains. If you need to remove EXIF data before sharing, use an image editor (Photoshop, GIMP, Preview on Mac) to "Save for Web" or re-export — this strips metadata. Or use a dedicated EXIF stripper tool.

Yes. The Export JSON button downloads all metadata fields as a structured JSON file. This is useful for cataloging photos, feeding metadata into scripts or databases, or documenting camera settings for a shoot. The JSON includes all EXIF tags found in the file, including raw tag IDs for advanced use.

JPEG/JPG has the richest EXIF support — nearly all metadata fields come from JPEG files. PNG files have limited metadata (mainly dimensions and color mode). WebP and GIF show basic properties. HEIC (iPhone native format) may work depending on your browser's support. TIFF files from digital cameras have full EXIF support in most browsers. RAW files (CR2, NEF, ARW) are not supported.

PNG files store metadata in a different format (PNG chunks, not EXIF). Most cameras and smartphones that save PNG don't embed EXIF data the same way JPEG does. If you need rich metadata, keep your photos in JPEG format from the camera. Screenshots saved as PNG on a computer typically have no meaningful metadata beyond dimensions.

Yes. A built-in EXIF parser runs entirely in your browser. No images are uploaded to any server. Your photos — including those with GPS data — never leave your device.

What is Image Metadata Viewer?

A free browser tool that reads EXIF data, GPS coordinates, camera info, and image properties from your photos. A lightweight built-in parser handles everything client-side, so your images never leave your device.

Check Privacy Before Sharing

Smartphone photos often embed GPS coordinates, timestamps, and device identifiers. Drop your image here to see exactly what metadata it carries before you post it online -- a quick privacy audit that takes seconds.

Understand Your Camera Settings

Curious why a shot turned out great? The viewer extracts aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, and flash status so you can learn from your best (and worst) exposures without digging through raw files.

Export as JSON

Need the metadata in a structured format? One click exports everything to a clean JSON file you can feed into scripts, databases, or documentation pipelines.
