View Image Metadata

See all the hidden EXIF metadata stored in an image: camera make and model, GPS coordinates, date taken, exposure settings, and more. Files are read locally and never uploaded.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Inspect EXIF, GPS & camera info

Before you decide whether a photo is safe to share, it helps to see exactly what is hidden inside it. An EXIF block can hold the coordinates where the shot was taken, the serial number of the camera body, the software that touched it, and a timeline of when it was created and modified. This viewer parses that block on your own machine and lays it out in plain language, so you can check a file without handing it to anyone.

How to check the metadata in a photo

  1. 1

    Open an image

    Drop in a JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, or TIFF file. It is parsed in the page — no upload step exists.

  2. 2

    Read the full record

    Camera, lens, exposure, orientation, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and software tags are grouped into readable sections.

  3. 3

    Decide what to do next

    If the file carries more than you want to share, run it through the metadata remover and share the clean copy instead.

Good to know

  • GPS coordinates are shown in a readable form so you can tell immediately whether a location is embedded.
  • Reads standard EXIF, plus IPTC and XMP fields where the file contains them.
  • An empty result is a real answer: images exported by many apps and social networks genuinely carry no EXIF.
  • Because parsing is local, this is safe for photos you would not upload to an online EXIF checker.

What people use it for

  • Checking whether a photo you are about to post contains your home location
  • Confirming when and on what device a picture was actually taken
  • Verifying that a metadata-stripping step in your own workflow really worked

Frequently asked questions

What information can an image reveal?+

EXIF metadata can include GPS coordinates of where a photo was taken, the camera or phone model, lens, exposure settings, the exact date and time, and editing software used.

Is my image uploaded to read its metadata?+

No. The file is read locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so it's safe to inspect private images.

Why does my image show no metadata?+

Some platforms strip EXIF on upload, and formats like PNG rarely store camera data. If you see no fields, the image is likely already clean.

Can it find embedded source credentials?+

Yes. Some image tools embed signed source records that ordinary EXIF viewers ignore. Picsova scans for those records and source tags even when there is no normal EXIF data.

How do I remove this metadata?+

Use the Remove Image Metadata tool to strip the hidden fields you see here and download a clean copy.
