Image Metadata Viewer

It reads EXIF from the main image directory, the EXIF camera directory and the GPS directory, the embedded ICC color profile, IPTC captions and credits, the XMP packet and PNG text chunks. Each section only appears when the file actually carries it. If nothing is found, the result says the image has no EXIF, ICC, IPTC or XMP metadata.

About seventy common tags are decoded, including camera make and model, lens, exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash, white balance, dates, artist, copyright, software, orientation and resolution. Coded values such as orientation or metering mode are shown as words, and exposure time appears as a fraction such as 1/125 s. Proprietary maker notes and embedded thumbnails are skipped.

Yes. When the EXIF GPS directory holds a latitude and longitude, the viewer shows them as decimal degrees with six decimals, plus the altitude, GPS time and date when present. These values come only from the file you upload. A note reminds you that the file reveals its location, so you can strip it with the Image Metadata Remover before sharing.

It shows the profile name and copyright from the ICC description tags, the ICC version, the device class (for example display or output device), the color space such as RGB or CMYK, the connection space and the profile size in bytes. This tells you whether a photo is tagged as sRGB, Display P3, Adobe RGB or a print profile.

JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF and AVIF images up to 5 MB are accepted. JPEG, TIFF, WebP and AVIF files usually carry EXIF, while PNG may store EXIF, XMP and text chunks. GIF files rarely hold any metadata beyond their size and frames.

XMP is an XML packet that editing apps such as Lightroom and Photoshop write. The structured result contains the raw packet up to 16 KB with a flag when it was cut, and the readable summary shows its size and the first 4000 characters. Ratings, keywords and edit history often live there.

IPTC is the press standard for captions, credits and keywords. The viewer decodes the common fields: object name, headline, caption, keywords, creator and creator title, credit, source, copyright notice, city, state or province, country, date created, instructions and caption writer. They are read from the Photoshop resource block in JPEG files or the IPTC tag in TIFF files.

Coded EXIF fields are translated for the values the standard defines, such as the eight orientations or the common light sources. When a camera writes a value outside that list, the viewer shows the raw number so nothing is hidden or guessed.

No. The viewer only reads the file headers and never rewrites the image. To change metadata, use the Image EXIF Editor, the Image DPI Changer or the Image ICC Profile tool, and to remove it use the Image Metadata Remover.

Many apps and social networks strip or rewrite metadata when they export or upload a photo. Screenshots and images saved from websites often carry no EXIF at all. The viewer can only show what is still inside the file you upload.
