Image Metadata Viewer
View embedded EXIF, resolution and GPS-presence metadata — in your browser.
Image Metadata Viewer is a browser-based image tool on ImgToolsBase. View embedded EXIF, resolution and GPS-presence metadata — in your browser. To use it, upload or drop your image and view the result directly in your browser — no signup and nothing to install.
How this tool works
What it does
Parses JFIF/EXIF/PNG fields to show format, dimensions, resolution, EXIF and GPS presence.
Scope
Common fields only — not full IPTC or XMP; GPS is reported as present or not.
Read-only
Only reads the file; the original is never modified.
Privacy
Parsing happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Image Metadata Viewer in your browser
Image Metadata Viewer reads the metadata embedded in an image file by parsing its bytes, showing the detected format, dimensions, embedded resolution and EXIF fields such as camera make and model, capture date and orientation, plus whether GPS location data is present.
It parses the JFIF, EXIF and PNG text fields exposed in the file's bytes. It does not parse full IPTC or XMP blocks, and it reports GPS as present or not rather than decoding exact coordinates.
The original file is only read, never modified or uploaded, and the full report can be downloaded as text.
How to use Image Metadata Viewer
- Upload an image into Image Metadata Viewer to inspect its embedded data.
- Click Process to parse the file's metadata.
- Review the format, dimensions, EXIF fields and GPS-present status.
- Download the metadata report as a text file.
Why use Image Metadata Viewer
Reads make, model, date, orientation and resolution from the file's bytes.
Tells you whether location data is embedded, without exposing coordinates.
States clearly that it does not parse full IPTC or XMP blocks.
The file is only read in your browser; nothing is uploaded or changed.
Common uses for Image Metadata Viewer
See whether a photo carries camera or GPS data before posting.
Confirm whether an export kept or dropped EXIF fields.
Read make, model and capture date from a photo.
Check the stored orientation tag when an image rotates unexpectedly.
Frequently asked questions
Does Image Metadata Viewer read full EXIF metadata?
It reads the common JFIF/EXIF fields exposed by byte parsing — make, model, date/time, orientation, resolution and GPS presence — plus PNG text fields. It does not parse full IPTC or XMP blocks.
Does Image Metadata Viewer show my photo's GPS coordinates?
It reports whether GPS location data is present in the file, as a privacy-safe presence check, rather than decoding and displaying the exact latitude and longitude.
Why are some fields missing in Image Metadata Viewer?
Only metadata that the file actually contains can be shown. Images stripped of EXIF, or formats that store little metadata, will display fewer fields.
Does Image Metadata Viewer change my image?
No. It only reads the file's bytes to display metadata; the original is never modified, and nothing is uploaded.
What is the embedded resolution shown by Image Metadata Viewer?
It is the DPI or pixel-aspect value stored in the JFIF/EXIF/PNG header, when present — separate from the pixel dimensions of the image.
