Image Metadata Extractor

Upload an image to see the metadata hidden inside it. You get dimensions, camera make and model, exposure settings, IPTC captions, and GPS coordinates when the photo has them. Handy for checking what a photo gives away before you post it, or for sorting a pile of pictures by camera and date.

Required

JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, or TIFF up to 10 MB. EXIF is only read from JPEG and TIFF.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the EXIF section empty for my image?
EXIF is only read from JPEG and TIFF files. PNG, GIF, and WebP rarely carry it. And many sites (social networks, chat apps) strip metadata on upload, so a downloaded copy often has none left.
Is my uploaded image stored?
No. The file is read once to pull out the metadata and then discarded. Only the extracted fields come back in the response.
How do I remove GPS data from a photo?
Most phones have a setting to stop tagging photos with location. For existing files, tools like exiftool can strip it (exiftool -gps:all= photo.jpg). Run the file through this tool afterwards to check it's gone.
