What information can I inspect with the Metadata Viewer?

You can view camera manufacturer, lens model, aperture (f-number), shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, focal length, flash status, date/time, and GPS coordinates.

How do I check if my photo contains private GPS location data?

Upload your photo; if GPS tags exist, the tool displays exact latitude, longitude, altitude, and an interactive map pin.

Why do some images show no metadata at all?

Many social media platforms (like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter) automatically strip metadata during upload to protect user privacy.

Can I export the metadata summary as JSON?

Yes. You can copy or download the complete structured JSON metadata report with one click.

Are my uploaded photos sent to an external server?

No. The viewer runs 100% locally in your web browser using client-side binary parsers.

How do I view the exact date, time, and camera model from a photo file?

Drop your photo into the viewer. The inspector reads the file header instantly and displays original capture timestamp, camera manufacturer, firmware version, and software editing tags in an organized tree.

Can I inspect metadata from RAW, TIFF, PNG, and WebP files?

Yes. The viewer parses EXIF, IPTC, and XMP dictionaries across JPEG, TIFF, PNG, WebP, and standard DSLR RAW container formats.
