Why use this tool
Every photo carries more than pixels. Phones and cameras record the device, lens, exposure, date and often the exact GPS location; editors add the software and edit history; news and stock agencies add captions, credits and copyright in IPTC fields. This image metadata viewer shows all of it in one place.
The file is read in your browser, so you can check private photos safely before you share them. If you find a location or details you do not want to publish, remove them with one click; JPG, PNG and WebP are cleaned without re-compressing the image.
Frequently asked questions
How do I view the metadata of an image?
Drop the image on this page. The camera, settings, date and location appear immediately, and every metadata field is listed below. On Windows you can also use Properties, Details; on a Mac, Preview, Show Inspector.
Can I see where a photo was taken?
If the phone or camera saved GPS data, the viewer shows the coordinates and a link to open them on a map. Many phones save location by default; many apps remove it when you share.
What is the difference between EXIF, XMP and IPTC?
EXIF is written by the camera: device, settings, date and GPS. XMP is an extensible format used by editors such as Lightroom. IPTC holds descriptive data such as captions, keywords, credit and copyright.
