Image Metadata Viewer

What Is Image Metadata?

Image metadata is invisible text stored inside your image files. It acts like a digital fingerprint, recording details about how, when, and where a photo was taken. While useful for photographers, this data can sometimes reveal more than you intend to share.

What Information Can Be Hidden in Photos?

Device Info: Camera make, model, and serial number.
Exposure Settings: ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and focal length.
Location Data: Exact GPS coordinates (Latitude/Longitude) and altitude.
Dates: Original creation date, modification date, and digitized date.
Software: Name of the editing software used (e.g., Photoshop, Lightroom).

Why Metadata Can Be a Privacy Risk

The most significant risk is GPS Location. If you take a photo at home and share it online without stripping metadata, anyone can extract the coordinates and find your exact address. Device serial numbers can also be used to link multiple photos to the same user.

How to Check EXIF Data in Images

Just drag and drop your file into the box above. Our tool will parse the binary data of the image and present it in a readable format. We highlight sensitive fields like GPS so you can spot them immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Simply upload your image to our viewer. We instantly extract and display all embedded EXIF tags, including camera settings, date taken, and software information.

Can I see GPS coordinates in a photo?▼

Yes. If your camera or phone saved location data, our tool will display the precise Latitude and Longitude where the photo was taken.
