What is Image Metadata?

EXIF Data: Camera make/model, exposure settings (ISO, shutter speed, aperture), focal length, flash status, date/time taken.

GPS Data: Latitude, longitude, altitude—shows where a photo was taken (if enabled on the camera/phone).

File Properties: Dimensions, file size, format, color space, bit depth, DPI/resolution.

Software Info: Editing software used, version numbers, processing history.

  • Verification: Confirm image authenticity, detect edits, and validate sources.
  • Forensics: Investigate image origins, timestamps, and modification history.
  • Organization: Sort photos by camera, date, location, or settings automatically.
  • Development: Debug image rendering issues by checking color space and format details.

FAQ: Metadata Extractor Tool

Why does my image show no metadata?
Many platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) strip EXIF data from uploaded images for privacy. Screenshots and edited images may also have no metadata.
Can I remove metadata from my images?
Yes. Most image editing software can strip metadata. Our tool only reads metadata—it doesn't modify or remove it.
Is GPS data always present?
No. GPS data is only embedded if location services were enabled when the photo was taken. Most modern phones include GPS data by default unless disabled.
Is my image uploaded to your servers?
No. All metadata extraction happens in your browser. Your images never leave your device.
Can I see metadata from scanned photos?
Scanned images typically only contain basic file properties (size, dimensions) unless the scanner software embeds additional data.
