Image Metadata Viewer

Upload a photo to see its EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP metadata all at once, processed entirely in your browser.

This image metadata viewer is the most complete tool in the ExifHub suite: upload any photo and see everything embedded inside it in one place, from camera settings and GPS coordinates to IPTC captions and XMP editing history. Where our other tools focus on a single metadata type, this free image metadata viewer shows EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP data side by side, so you get the full picture from a single upload.

As with every tool on ExifHub, this is a genuine online image metadata viewer in the strictest sense: all reading happens locally in your browser using JavaScript, and your photo is never uploaded to a server. Nothing leaves your device, nothing is stored, and nothing is shared with anyone. That makes it a reliable way to check image metadata before sharing a photo publicly, audit what a camera or phone actually records, or look into an image someone else sent you.

Think of this as a general-purpose image metadata reader: drop in a JPG, PNG, HEIC, or TIFF file, and every readable field appears in clearly labeled sections, whether that photo carries a handful of tags or hundreds of them. If you only care about one type of metadata, our dedicated EXIF viewer and GPS metadata viewer are lighter, focused alternatives, but this image metadata extractor is built for when you want to see it all.

Frequently asked questions

What is image metadata?+

Image metadata is information embedded inside a photo file describing how, when, and where it was created. This includes EXIF data (camera settings, date), GPS coordinates, IPTC fields (captions, copyright), and XMP data (editing software details).

How do I view metadata of an image?+

Upload your photo using the tool above. It reads all embedded metadata (EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP) directly in your browser and displays it in organized, readable sections - no upload to any server required.

How can I preserve image metadata while saving a photo?+

Many editing tools and messaging apps strip metadata automatically when you save or share a photo. To preserve it, export using the original format without recompression, and avoid platforms known to strip EXIF data on upload, such as most social media sites.

How do I view image metadata on an iPhone?+

On iPhone, the Photos app hides most metadata by default. Uploading the photo to a browser-based tool like this one is the easiest way to see the full EXIF, GPS, and other embedded data without needing a separate app.

Is this a good alternative to Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer?+

Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer is a well-known, long-running metadata tool. This tool offers similar core functionality (EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP viewing) with a modern interface, and processes everything locally in your browser rather than on a server.
