Image Metadata Viewer
Inspect the EXIF, GPS, IPTC and XMP data hidden inside an image — camera, lens, exposure, timestamps and location. See exactly what you'd be sharing with a privacy report, then export everything as JSON. Your image is read entirely in your browser and never uploaded.
About this ToolHow it works, benefits & use casesTap to collapse
See exactly what is hidden inside an image before you share it. Drop a JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP, or AVIF (up to 20MB) and this viewer extracts the embedded EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP data — the camera and lens, exposure settings, timestamps, dimensions and megapixels, and often the precise GPS coordinates where the photo was taken. A privacy report flags anything sensitive, GPS coordinates are shown with direct links to Google Maps and OpenStreetMap, and a summary header shows the file, camera, and capture date at a glance. Detailed sections break out every tag group, and you can export the whole report as JSON — pipe it into the JSON Formatter to pretty-print or JSON to TypeScript to generate types. Parsing happens entirely on your device; the image is never uploaded.
How to Use
- 1Drop an image (JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP, or AVIF, max 20MB) onto the upload area or click to browse.
- 2Read the summary header for the file, dimensions, megapixels, camera, and capture date.
- 3Check the privacy report for any flagged sensitive data, and the Location section if GPS is present.
- 4Open the Google Maps or OpenStreetMap link to see exactly where a geotagged photo was taken.
- 5Scan the detailed metadata sections, then copy or download the full report as JSON (or pipe it onward).
Key Benefits
- Extracts EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP metadata from a wide range of formats
- Reads JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP, and AVIF up to 20MB
- Privacy report highlights sensitive data like location before you share
- GPS coordinates with one-click Google Maps and OpenStreetMap links
- Summary header with camera, lens, exposure, dimensions, megapixels, and date
- Exports the complete report as JSON, pipeable to the JSON Formatter or JSON to TypeScript
- Parses entirely in your browser — the image is never uploaded
Common Use Cases
- Checking whether a photo carries GPS coordinates before posting it publicly
- Auditing images for hidden camera, location, or author metadata you would rather not share
- Inspecting EXIF exposure settings (ISO, aperture, shutter) to study how a shot was taken
- Confirming the capture date and device of a photo for verification purposes
- Exporting metadata as JSON to feed into scripts, type generation, or documentation

Nothing is uploaded — parsing happens locally in your browser.
What is EXIF metadata?
Photos from cameras and phones embed hidden data — the device and lens, exposure settings, the exact time, and often the GPS coordinates where the shot was taken. This viewer surfaces all of it and warns you about anything sensitive before you share the file. Screenshots and exported images usually carry none of it.

It surfaces EXIF (camera, lens, exposure, timestamps, orientation), GPS location, and IPTC and XMP tags where present, along with basic facts like file type, dimensions, and megapixels. The data is grouped into readable sections and also available as a full JSON export.
If the image contains GPS data, the viewer displays the coordinates (and altitude when available) in a dedicated Location section, with direct links to open the spot in Google Maps or OpenStreetMap. This is exactly the kind of data the privacy report warns you about before sharing.
