Real image and EXIF extraction
JPEG photos commonly contain the richest EXIF data, including camera and GPS fields. Other image formats can still provide basic properties and dimensions when the browser can decode them.
File Metadata Viewer
Inspect basic file properties and real image metadata directly in your browser. For supported photos, the viewer extracts EXIF camera information, dimensions, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and the complete parsed metadata object.

How to use the File Metadata Viewer
- 1Choose an image or another supported file type.
- 2Wait while the browser reads the file and extracts available metadata.
- 3Review the basic, image, camera, GPS, and raw EXIF sections.
- 4Copy the full metadata object or download it as JSON.
Common uses
- Inspect camera, lens, exposure, and capture-time information from a photo.
- Check whether an image contains GPS coordinates before sharing it.
- Export image metadata for troubleshooting, cataloging, or documentation.
Current file-type limitations
Detailed PDF, audio, and video tag extraction is not yet implemented. Those files currently return basic properties and a notice rather than complete document or media metadata.
Frequently asked questions
Does the viewer upload my file?
No. Metadata extraction runs locally in your browser.
Why is no GPS location shown?
The image may not contain GPS EXIF fields, or those fields may have been removed during editing, export, or sharing.
Does it extract complete PDF or audio metadata?
Not currently. Detailed extraction is implemented for images, while PDF, audio, and video support is limited to basic file information.
