Image Metadata Viewer

Read the EXIF information stored in a JPG, such as camera model, exposure settings and orientation.

How to use the Image Metadata Viewer

  1. Add a photograph, ideally straight from a camera or phone.
  2. Press Analyse.
  3. Browse the tags that were found in the file.

What EXIF metadata holds

Cameras and phones write a block of information into the file alongside the picture: camera make and model, lens, exposure time, aperture, ISO, the date the photo was taken, orientation, and sometimes GPS coordinates. This tool parses that block directly from the file and lists the tags it can read.

Why a file may show nothing

Metadata is routinely stripped. Social platforms remove it on upload, screenshots never had any, and most editors and export pipelines drop it as well. An empty result usually means the file genuinely carries no EXIF block rather than that the tool failed. PNG and WebP files rarely contain EXIF at all.

A privacy note

Photos taken on a phone with location services enabled can carry precise GPS coordinates. If you publish original camera files anywhere, it is worth checking what is inside them first — which is exactly what this tool is for.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my image show no metadata?
Most images published online have had it stripped, and screenshots never contain any. An empty result normally means the file really has no EXIF block.
Can this remove metadata?
No, it only reads. Converting an image with one of the converter tools produces a new file that carries no EXIF block, which is an effective way to strip it.
