About the Image Metadata Viewer
Photos carry far more embedded data than most people realize: EXIF stores camera make/model, exposure settings, and — critically — GPS coordinates if location services were on when the shot was taken; IPTC carries captioning and copyright fields used by news and stock photography workflows; XMP is Adobe's extensible metadata format layered on top of both. Any of this can end up published unintentionally the moment a photo is uploaded somewhere public.
This tool reads all three metadata formats out of a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or TIFF file, lets you search specific fields (useful for checking exactly which GPS coordinates or camera serial number is embedded), export the metadata as JSON/CSV/TXT for record-keeping, and strip it entirely before you share or publish an image — the single most common reason people reach for a tool like this is realizing a photo geotags their home address.
Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata can this tool read?
The tool reads EXIF (camera settings, date taken, lens info), GPS coordinates, IPTC (title, keywords, copyright), and XMP data. It also shows basic image properties like dimensions, color space, and resolution.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
Yes — the file is sent to the backend for processing by ImageMagick's 'identify' tool. It is deleted from the server immediately after the metadata is extracted. No data is stored permanently.
Why should I remove metadata before sharing photos?
Photos taken on smartphones often embed GPS coordinates that reveal your exact location. Removing metadata protects your privacy before uploading to social media or sharing publicly.
Does removing metadata affect image quality?
No. Metadata is stored separately from pixel data. Stripping it only removes the embedded information; image dimensions, colors, and visual quality are fully preserved.
