How to use View Image Metadata
- Choose one photo (JPG, HEIC, TIFF, PNG or WebP).
- Press Read metadata.
- Scroll through the table of file details and EXIF tags; open the Map link if GPS data is present.
What image metadata can reveal
Phones and cameras embed EXIF tags in each photo, and some apps add IPTC or XMP fields too. The viewer parses these with the exifr library and lists every readable tag alongside the basic file name, type, size, pixel dimensions and last-modified time. Long binary blobs such as embedded thumbnails are skipped to keep the table readable.
Checking metadata is a good habit before posting pictures publicly, since GPS coordinates can pinpoint a home or hostel. It also helps settle questions like which phone took a picture, or whether a photo's date matches the event it supposedly shows.
Limitations
- Images sent through WhatsApp, Instagram and most social apps usually have their EXIF stripped, so little or nothing may show.
- This page only reads data; use the Remove EXIF tool to delete it.
- Metadata can be edited by anyone with the right software, so treat it as a clue, not proof.
Frequently asked questions
Why does it say no EXIF metadata was found?
The file was probably exported, screenshotted or shared through a messaging app that removes metadata. Screenshots rarely contain camera data.
Can it show where a photo was taken?
Only if location was saved when the photo was taken. When GPS tags exist, a Map link opens the coordinates in Google Maps.
Is the photo uploaded to read the data?
No. The tags are parsed directly from the file inside your browser.
