Metadata Viewer

Metadata viewers inspect the information embedded inside digital files — separate from what you see when you open them. Digital Metadata Remover currently focuses on image metadata: EXIF, GPS, camera information, timestamps and other embedded data, viewable directly in your browser.

Files are processed on our server (not only in your browser) — see the full privacy policy for exactly what that means.

What is a metadata viewer?

A metadata viewer reads the embedded information inside a file and displays it in a readable form, instead of leaving it hidden inside the file's raw bytes. It's a purely inspection tool — it shows you what's there without changing the file.

How to view metadata online

Upload a photo below, or use the dedicated image metadata viewer. The file is analyzed in the browser session and the detected fields are shown immediately — technical values plus a plain-language summary of what they mean. This kind of tool is sometimes called a metadata checker, since the underlying goal is the same: check what a file actually contains before you share it.

Metadata viewer vs EXIF viewer

EXIF is one metadata standard among several — it's what most cameras and phones write automatically (device, settings, date, sometimes GPS). A metadata viewer like this one also surfaces IPTC and XMP fields when present. If you specifically want an EXIF-focused view, the EXIF viewer below is built around exactly that.

Common questions

Is there a file size limit?

Yes — up to 25MB per photo.

How long are uploaded photos kept?

Uploaded files and any cleaned copies are automatically deleted within 1 hour of being processed.

Will it always find GPS location?

Only if the device that captured the photo recorded it. Many phones let you disable location tagging, and some platforms strip GPS data automatically before you ever download or share the file.

What image formats are supported?

JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, WebP and TIFF.

Does viewing metadata change my photo?

No. Viewing metadata only reads the file. Your original photo is only ever modified if you separately choose to remove metadata, which creates a new cleaned copy — the original upload is left untouched.

We build focused tools for working with modern image formats and image data.
