About this tool
Extract and view complete image metadata including EXIF, IPTC, GPS, and file properties.
Image Metadata Viewer reads the EXIF block out of a JPEG's APP1 segment in your browser and lays it out in six sections — File Info, Camera, Exposure, GPS, Dates and Software — including make and model, lens, shutter speed, f-number, ISO, orientation and decoded GPS latitude and longitude. It then runs a privacy pass that flags embedded coordinates as high risk, an Artist name as medium, a copyright string as low and editing software as informational, and warns when two or more personal identifiers appear together. You can export everything as JSON, plain text or CSV before deciding what to strip.
Open Image Metadata Viewer on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Drop a photo on the 'Upload an image' zone or click to browse — it takes .jpg, .png, .webp, .gif, .tiff and .bmp, with full EXIF only from JPEG.
Read the Camera, Exposure, GPS, Dates and Software sections, or open the Privacy tab, where GPS Location is rated high and Author Name medium.
On the Export tab press JSON, TXT or CSV to download the tags as filename-metadata.json, .txt or .csv.
Reads the GPS IFD and converts the degrees/minutes/seconds rationals plus N/S and E/W references into a plain latitude and longitude, including altitude below sea level.
Coordinates, author name, copyright and software each get a risk level, and two or more personal identifiers together are called out as combined exposure.
The same parsed tag set downloads as JSON for tooling, plain text for a note, or CSV for a spreadsheet.
Load it and check the GPS section: if your camera or phone recorded a position, the latitude, longitude and often altitude and a GPS timestamp will be listed, and the privacy panel flags it as a high risk. Phones commonly embed coordinates accurate enough to identify a specific address, which is why it is the first thing to strip before public sharing.
Full EXIF extraction works on JPEG, because the parser walks JPEG markers to find the APP1 EXIF segment. PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF and BMP files load and show file properties and colour analysis, but they will not produce a camera and exposure tag list here.
No. The file is read as an ArrayBuffer and parsed by JavaScript in the page, and the colour palette is sampled from a canvas locally, so an image you are checking precisely because it may be sensitive never leaves the device.
No, it only reads and exports it. To strip tags you need an editor or a dedicated remover; note that many social platforms strip EXIF on upload, but messaging apps and direct file sends often do not, so do not rely on the platform.
