Image Metadata Viewer
Online
View every EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and AI fingerprint field embedded in your photo. Drag a JPG, PNG, HEIC, or WebP into the inspector and see what platforms can read about it. Nothing leaves your device.
What you’ll typically see
A photo from a modern phone usually carries dozens of fields:
- Make, Model, Software, LensModel — your phone and camera identity.
- DateTime, DateTimeOriginal, OffsetTime — when the shot was taken, with timezone.
- latitude, longitude, GPSAltitude — your exact location.
- ExposureTime, FNumber, ISO, FocalLength — camera settings.
- CreatorTool, Software, ProcessingSoftware — what app touched the file last.
- XMP packets — Adobe edit history (which tools, which filters, sometimes the original filename).
- PNG iTXt ‘parameters’ — for AI-generated images, this often contains the entire prompt and generation settings.
Why view before sharing?
You probably know your photo has a timestamp. You may not realize it also has your home neighborhood’s GPS, your phone’s serial number, the prompt you typed into an AI tool, or a thumbnail that doesn’t match the crop you made. Viewing once teaches you what to expect — and shows you which fields the cleaner will actually strip.
Frequently asked.
Which formats are supported?+
JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC (the iPhone default). RAW formats like CR2, NEF, DNG, and ARW are not supported because browsers can't natively decode them.
Does this viewer parse C2PA manifests fully?+
It detects C2PA presence and shows the basic AI-tool markers it finds. For full claim parsing (signed certificates, complete edit history), use Adobe's official Content Credentials Verify tool at contentcredentials.org.
Is the file uploaded anywhere?+
No. The exifr library parses the file entirely in your browser. Open dev tools and watch the Network tab while you drop a file — zero requests fire. The viewer works offline.
Why does the metadata table show different fields for different photos?+
Apps and cameras embed different metadata. iPhone photos usually have rich EXIF + GPS. A WhatsApp-saved photo usually has nothing left because WhatsApp strips most metadata server-side. A ChatGPT image has C2PA + iTXt prompt chunks. The viewer shows whatever is actually in the file.
