How to see the metadata of an image

  1. Add your picture

    Drop it above or choose it. A JPG, PNG or WebP works.

  2. Read the details

    They appear as soon as the picture is in. Search them, or open a section.

  3. Save or remove them

    Save the list as JSON or text, or use Remove EXIF data to take the details out of the picture.

What stays and what doesn't

This tool only reads. Your file is not changed.

When it won't run

Two things stop a run before it writes anything, and each is said on the file's row. A file that cannot be read is reported as damaged, and a picture too large for this device says so, with the limit. In both cases nothing is changed and your original stays as it was. A file in a format the page does not take, such as a GIF, gets a sentence instead of a row.

Reading image metadata: what to expect

A picture carries more than its pixels. A photo from a phone or a camera usually holds the make and model and the time it was taken, and the place too if location was on. Editors add their name and sometimes a copyright line. This page lists all of it in sections, and says first whether the file gives away a location, a serial number, a name or the camera.

The details come from the EXIF, IPTC and XMP blocks, from the colour profile and from the file itself: its size, colour, depth and encoding. If one block is damaged, the others are still shown and the damaged one says so. The private notes some camera makers add are counted, not decoded.

A location is shown as numbers. The map is only a link: nothing is sent to a map service unless you click it, and then that service sees the position. Before you share a photo, take the details out with Remove EXIF data.

Questions

Are my pictures uploaded?

No. Your pictures are processed inside your browser, on your own phone or computer, and saved straight from this page. The reading at the top of the page counts every byte sent, and it stays at 0 B.

Is the picture sent anywhere?

No. It is read on your device, and nothing is uploaded.

Does it change my file?

No. It only reads the file. Nothing is written back.

Which details can it show?

The camera and exposure, the dates, the position, the owner and rights, titles, keywords and descriptions, the colour profile, and the facts of the file itself. It reads JPG, PNG and WebP.

Why does it say a size and then "stored as" another?

Some pictures are saved sideways and turned by a tag when they are shown. The first size is how the picture looks. The second is how it is saved.

How do I remove the location?

Use Remove EXIF data. It makes a new file without the location, the camera details and the other tags.
