Image Metadata Viewer
View EXIF data: camera, lens, ISO, exposure, date taken, GPS, dimensions, and more.
What is Image Metadata Viewer?
Image metadata, also known as EXIF data, contains a wealth of information embedded inside image files by cameras and smartphones. This includes the camera make and model, lens used, ISO sensitivity, aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, focal length, date and time the photo was taken, and potentially GPS coordinates. Our metadata viewer uses the exifr library to extract and display this information in a clean, readable table. This is useful for photographers reviewing their settings, investigators checking photo authenticity, or anyone curious about the technical details behind an image.
How to Use
- 1Upload an image by dragging it onto the drop zone.
- 2The tool automatically reads and displays all available metadata.
- 3Review the table of properties including camera, lens, exposure, and GPS data.
Why Use This Tool
- ✓Review camera settings — check what ISO, aperture, and shutter speed were used for a photo.
- ✓Verify authenticity — examine metadata to check if an image has been modified or has suspicious properties.
- ✓Check for GPS data — see if your photos contain location information before sharing them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata fields are displayed?⌄
The viewer shows file name, file size, file type, last modified date, and when available: camera make and model, lens model, ISO, aperture (f-number), exposure time, focal length, date taken, GPS latitude and longitude, image dimensions, and color space. Not all fields will be present for every image — only fields that contain data are shown.
Why does my image show no EXIF data?⌄
Some images have no EXIF metadata. This happens when the image was edited or re-saved by software that strips metadata, when the image was created digitally (like a screenshot or graphic), or when the image was already processed by a metadata removal tool. PNG files typically have less EXIF data than JPEG files from cameras.
Can I view metadata from HEIC files?⌄
Yes. The exifr library supports HEIC files from iPhones, which contain rich EXIF data including Apple-specific camera information. However, HEIC decoding depends on browser support — most modern browsers can decode HEIC for metadata extraction even if they cannot display it natively.
Is my image uploaded to a server to read its metadata?⌄
No. All metadata extraction happens in your browser using the exifr JavaScript library. Your image file is loaded into browser memory, parsed locally, and the metadata is displayed. The file is never transmitted to any server.
