About Image metadata viewer
The image metadata viewer shows the information stored inside a photo file. Alongside the file name, size, type and dimensions, it lists embedded EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC data, such as camera make and model, lens, exposure settings, the date and time the photo was taken and its location coordinates when present.
Use it to check what a photo reveals before you share it, to look up the settings behind a shot or to verify when an image was created. You can copy the data or download it as JSON. The file is read in your browser and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
What information can a photo’s metadata contain?
Typical fields include the camera make and model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, the date and time taken, software used and image orientation. Phone photos often also include GPS latitude, longitude and altitude.
Why does my image show no metadata?
Many apps and websites remove metadata when you share or download images, and screenshots or edited exports often never had any. In that case the viewer shows the basic file details and a message that no embedded metadata was found.
Can I see where a photo was taken?
If the camera or phone recorded a location, the GPS latitude and longitude appear in the table. You can paste those coordinates into a map service to see the place.
Which file types are supported?
It works best with photos from cameras and phones, such as JPG, HEIC and TIFF files, which commonly carry EXIF data. PNG and WebP files can contain metadata too, though they often have little or none.
