Private image inspection
Image Metadata Viewer
Inspect EXIF, GPS, camera, date, color, text, animation, and container metadata without uploading the image. Search every detected field, review privacy risks, and export a localized report as JSON or CSV.

Parser coverage
Supported image metadata
| Format | Parsed data | Important notes |
|---|---|---|
| JPEG / JPG | JFIF, dimensions, EXIF/TIFF, GPS, camera, exposure, XMP/ICC presence, comments | Most camera and phone metadata is stored here. |
| PNG | IHDR, color type, bit depth, density, gamma, text, eXIf, APNG animation | Compressed text is reported but is not decompressed. |
| WebP | VP8/VP8L/VP8X dimensions, alpha, animation, EXIF, XMP and ICC presence | Both lossy and lossless containers are recognized. |
| GIF | Version, canvas, color table, frame count, comments and application extension | GIF generally contains less camera metadata. |
| BMP | DIB header, dimensions, row order, bit depth, compression and density | BMP usually contains structural rather than camera data. |
Privacy guide
Metadata to review before sharing
Location
GPS latitude and longitude can reveal a home, workplace, travel route, or exact capture location.
Time and identity
Capture dates, owner names, and serial numbers can connect images to people or devices.
Read-only report
This viewer identifies metadata but does not remove it. Browser Canvas tools generally create a new file without EXIF.
Image Metadata Viewer FAQ
Are images uploaded?
No. File reading, binary parsing, preview, filtering, and export all happen locally in the browser.
Can this viewer detect GPS coordinates?
Yes. Standard EXIF GPS coordinates in supported JPEG, PNG eXIf, and WebP EXIF data are highlighted as high risk.
Why are some metadata fields missing?
The file may not contain them, another app may have removed them, or they may use a proprietary maker-note format not interpreted by this dependency-free parser.
Does viewing metadata change or remove it?
No. Inspection is read-only. JSON and CSV exports contain only the generated report.
