Why Use This Tool?

Advanced Utilities for Detailed Image Inspection

Uncover the details behind your photos.

1

EXIF/IPTC/XMP Multi-Scan

Comprehensive header analysis that extracts technical camera settings, journalistic captions, and Adobe-standard editing history in one pass.

2

Geolocation Mapping

Detects hidden GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, and even altitude) to show you exactly where the image was captured on the globe.

3

Camera Artifact Detection

Identifies the specific camera model, serial number (where available), and lens specifications used for the shot.

4

Technical Exposure Report

Detailed breakdown of the 'Big Three' settings: ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed, along with metering modes and focal length.

5

Browser-Based Security

Your metadata stays yours. We use local JavaScript to read your files, meaning your photos never reach our servers and are never stored.

6

Universal File Compatibility

Supports JPG, TIFF, and WebP, as well as many professional RAW formats. If it has metadata, we can find it.

Master the Inspection: How to View Metadata

See EXIF data instantly.

1

Initialize Data Archive Analysis

Drag and drop the file you want to inspect. For best results, use the original file from the camera rather than a version downloaded from social media.

2

Header Analysis Phase

The tool instantly parses the file's binary headers, looking for standard and proprietary metadata markers from various manufacturers.

3

Review the Technical Data

Scroll through the generated list. Check the 'Camera' section for settings and the 'Software' section for editing history.

4

Inspect the Location Data

Look for the GPS section. If the photo was taken with a smartphone or GPS-enabled camera, the coordinates will be listed here.

5

Verify Copyright and Authorship

Check the IPC sections to see if an artist or photographer has embedded their name and copyright terms into the file.

Metadata Knowledge Base: EXIF/IPTC Inspection FAQ

Why can't I see any metadata on a photo I downloaded from Facebook?
Most social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) strip metadata for privacy and optimization during the upload process.
What is the most important metadata tag?
For photographers, it's the ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. For privacy, it's the GPS coordinates.
Can metadata be faked?
Yes. It is possible to edit or 'spoof' metadata using specialized software. Always treat it as a helpful guide rather than absolute legal proof.
Will my image be changed after viewing?
No. Our tool is strictly a 'viewer.' We read the data but do not modify or save the file in any way.
Does the tool work with RAW files?
Yes! We support many professional RAW formats (CR2, NEF, ARW) which often contain the most comprehensive metadata of all.
Is this tool free for personal use?
Absolutely. Our metadata viewer is 100% free and requires no account or registration.
How do I know if a photo has a GPS location?
Upload the file; if a 'GPS' section appears in our results, the location data is present. If not, the photo is likely 'clean.'
Can I view the metadata of many photos at once?
Currently, we process images one by one to ensure the most detailed and accurate report for each individual file.
What is IPTC data used for?
IPTC is used mainly by news agencies to store captions, keywords, and legal instructions for photo usage.
Is my data safe on this website?
Yes. We use client-side processing, meaning your photo stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.
