What metadata can this tool read?

EXIF camera settings, IPTC descriptive info, XMP software tags, ICC color profiles, and GPS location when embedded.

Why is there no camera information?

Many images have metadata stripped by messaging apps, social platforms, or screenshot tools before you download them.

Will this show my exact location?

Only if GPS coordinates are embedded. You will see coordinates and a map link when present.

Can I export the metadata?

Yes. Copy as JSON to clipboard or download as a JSON file.

Is my photo uploaded to read metadata?

No. Extraction happens entirely client-side in your browser.

Does this modify my photo?

No. Read-only viewer. Use Remove EXIF Data to strip metadata.

Can I check screenshots?

Yes, but screenshots typically contain little or no EXIF data.

Yes. Free on ToolifHub with no registration.

Overview

Image Metadata Viewer on ToolifHub reveals the hidden data embedded in digital photos — information most people never see until it exposes their location or device. Upload any image and the tool parses EXIF camera settings (make, model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length), IPTC descriptive fields, XMP software tags, ICC color profile details, and GPS coordinates when present. File basics like dimensions, format, and byte size display alongside technical metadata. When latitude and longitude exist, a View on map link opens the capture location in Google Maps — a powerful privacy check before public sharing. Export the full metadata set as clipboard JSON or a downloadable JSON file for documentation. Parsing runs locally via JavaScript — your photo never uploads to ToolifHub. Read-only: the original file is never modified. Follow with Remove EXIF Data when you need a clean publishable copy.

About Image Metadata Viewer

Image Metadata Viewer is a free, browser-based tool on ToolifHub that extracts and displays hidden metadata from photos — camera make and model, lens, exposure, ISO, focal length, color profile, and GPS coordinates when present. Copy as JSON or download a metadata file — all parsed locally without uploads.

Use it as a privacy audit before sharing images publicly. If GPS coordinates appear, open the location in Google Maps or strip metadata with Remove EXIF Data.

Clean files with the Remove EXIF Data tool or compress with the Image Compressor. Browse Image Tools or read our Privacy Policy.

Use Cases

Photography settings review

Check ISO, aperture, and shutter speed used for a favorite shot to learn and replicate settings.

Privacy auditing before sharing

Verify whether GPS coordinates exist before posting on social media or marketplaces.

Image provenance checks

Review capture date, camera model, and software tags as part of basic authenticity context.

Technical documentation

Export metadata JSON for portfolios, forensic notes, or archival records.

Examples

An iPhone photo may show GPS coordinates precise enough to identify a home address — the viewer surfaces this before you post.
A DSLR export may list lens and exposure settings useful for replicating a studio look on future shoots.

Tips for Best Results

Screenshots and social-media re-downloads often have metadata already stripped — empty results are normal.
Export JSON when documenting chain-of-custody for images in professional workflows.
Always viewer-first, cleaner-second: inspect before you strip so you know what was removed.

Limitations

Cannot read metadata that was already stripped by messaging apps or platforms.
Read-only — does not edit or remove metadata from the original file.
Some proprietary maker notes may display as raw values rather than friendly labels.
Does not analyze image content itself — only embedded file metadata.
