Online Metadata & EXIF Viewer

Securely extract hidden metadata from photos and videos. View EXIF data, camera settings, GPS coordinates, and media stream details—processed entirely in your browser.

What is EXIF Data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is hidden information embedded in your photos by cameras and smartphones. It stores technical details like shutter speed, ISO, aperture, focal length, and often precise GPS coordinates. Our EXIF reader helps you uncover this hidden data effortlessly.

100% Private & Secure

Privacy is paramount. This metadata extractor processes your image and video files strictly locally within your web browser. Your files are never uploaded to any external servers, ensuring your personal data and sensitive GPS locations never leave your device.

Supported Formats

Easily analyze a wide variety of formats. We support image EXIF extraction for JPEGs, PNGs, and HEIC files. You can also view video metadata, including codec info, bit depth, frame rates, and durations for MP4, MOV, and WEBM containers.

Comprehensive Metadata Decoding

GPS Location Data Extractor

Smartphones and drones often embed GPS coordinates (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude) into photos. Our Geotag viewer helps you pinpoint exactly where a picture was taken or allows you to remove sensitive location data before sharing images online.

Video File Analysis

Beyond photos, our tool acts as a video forensics platform. Discover hidden streaming information, container formats, multi-track audio data, and specific codec details for MP4, MOV, and AVI files.

Advanced Editing Features

Not just a viewer, but a fully functional editor. You can view, add, or amend metadata fields including author, copyright, and custom descriptions, then securely download the modified JPEG file back to your machine.

Cross-Platform Accessibility

Accessible via PC, Mac, Android, and iOS browsers. No installation required. Access standard technical metadata instantly through this fast, responsive, mobile-friendly PWA (Progressive Web App).
