Image Metadata Viewer
Every photo from a phone or camera carries hidden data most people never see. This shows you exactly what's in yours — camera and lens, exposure settings, the exact time it was taken, and GPS coordinates if they're there.
About this tool
Most photos carry far more information than the picture itself. Your phone or camera quietly embeds a block of metadata called EXIF into every JPEG — the camera make and model, the exact shutter speed and aperture used, the lens attached, the software that last touched the file, and often the precise GPS coordinates of where it was taken, accurate to within a few meters. None of this is visible when you look at the photo, but it travels with the file wherever it goes: email attachments, group chats, cloud backups, and — unless the platform explicitly strips it, which not all of them do — public uploads too.
This tool reads that data directly from the file's bytes and lays it out in plain language, grouped by what it actually tells you: where it was taken (with a link to look it up on a map, only if you choose to click it), when, on what device, and under what settings. If a photo has GPS data attached, this is flagged clearly, since that's usually the field people are most surprised — and sometimes unsettled — to find.
Everything happens locally. The file is read into your browser's memory and parsed there with plain JavaScript; it's never sent to a server, which matters more here than in most tools, since a metadata viewer that uploads your photos to check them for hidden personal data would rather miss the point. Once you've seen what's inside, the companion Metadata Remover strips it all out and gives you a clean copy to actually share.
