Reading embedded metadata
The EXIF metadata viewer parses JPEG, PNG, and WebP files locally to extract their internal metadata tags. It scans for standard EXIF, GPS, XMP, and IPTC data blocks without uploading your files. If the image contains readable tags, you can inspect the camera make, capture date, software history, and orientation.
GPS location and privacy
When latitude and longitude coordinates are embedded, the tool flags the image and provides a shortcut to open the location in Maps. Checking for photo GPS coordinates is a critical privacy step before publishing original photos to social media or public marketplaces.
JSON export and reporting
You can export the extracted metadata as raw JSON for documentation or debugging. The tool supports downloading a single file’s metadata object or compiling a combined JSON report for an entire batch of loaded images.
Missing metadata
Many files will show a “none” result because they genuinely contain no readable tags. Screenshots, optimized web exports, and images downloaded from messaging apps are usually stripped of their metadata by default.
