What Metadata Can You See?
EXIF Data
Camera make and model, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, flash and the exact capture date. EXIF is written by every camera and phone, which makes it the most common metadata you will find in a photo.
GPS Location
Latitude, longitude and altitude of the spot where the photo was taken. The viewer shows the coordinates on a map so you can see the location at a glance.
IPTC Fields
Captions, keywords, creator name, credit line and copyright notices. IPTC data is used by newsrooms, stock agencies and photo archives.
XMP Data
Edit history, software used, ratings and labels written by tools like Lightroom and Photoshop. XMP also stores develop settings for RAW files.
ICC Profile
The embedded color profile that controls how the colors of your image are displayed on different screens.
MakerNotes
Proprietary camera data such as body and lens serial numbers, focus points and shutter count. Few EXIF viewers can decode these fields.
FAQs
No. The metadata viewer runs entirely in your browser and your files are never transmitted anywhere. You can verify this yourself by opening the network tab of your browser while using the tool. There is nothing for us to store and nothing to delete.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is the standard that cameras and phones use to record technical details inside a photo: camera model, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, capture date and often GPS coordinates. Almost every JPG, HEIC or RAW file contains EXIF data, and it stays in the file when you share the photo directly.
There are three common reasons. Location services were disabled when the photo was taken, the photo is a screenshot or edited export that never contained GPS data, or the photo was shared through a platform like Instagram or WhatsApp, which strip metadata on upload. Photos sent as files, for example as email attachments, usually keep their metadata.
The viewer reads JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, GIF and JPEG XL, plus RAW formats including NEF, CR2, CR3, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF and RW2. Metadata removal supports the same formats, including RAW files, which most online tools cannot clean at all.
Yes. Removal only rewrites the metadata sections of the file. The image data is never recompressed, so the pixels of the cleaned file are identical to the original. You can also keep the ICC color profile so colors display exactly the same everywhere.
Yes, you can view the complete metadata of RAW files, including MakerNotes. When removing metadata from a RAW file, GPS coordinates, artist, copyright and capture dates are deleted, while some camera-protected fields are kept so the file still works in RAW converters. For a fully clean file, convert the RAW to JPG first and then remove its metadata.
No. Screenshots and most graphics have little or no EXIF data, some image formats such as GIF barely support it, and photos downloaded from social media have usually been stripped by the platform. Photos straight from a camera or phone almost always contain EXIF data.
No. Because your files are processed on your own device instead of being uploaded, there is no file size cap. Most online metadata viewers stop at 50 or 100 MB, which rules out RAW files. Here you can check a full shoot of large RAW files at once.
Yes. Drop as many photos as you want and each one gets its own report and privacy rating. You can remove metadata from all files in one click and download the cleaned copies.
Not completely. Metadata can be edited or faked with common software, so a capture date or camera model is a strong hint rather than proof. If you need to verify authenticity, combine metadata with other checks such as Content Credentials or the original file from the camera.
Slightly, yes. Metadata typically takes up a few kilobytes, and embedded preview thumbnails can add much more. The tool shows you exactly how many bytes were removed from each file. The visible image itself stays untouched.
