Find out what a photo is quietly telling people. Drop in an image and this viewer reads its EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC metadata — and flags anything that could identify you, like a location or serial number.
What you'll see
- A privacy verdict at the top: red if the photo contains a GPS location or identifying fields, with a link to view the location on a map.
- Camera summary: make, model, lens, date taken, shutter speed, aperture, ISO and focal length.
- Every field, if you want the full list.
It reads JPG, HEIC (iPhone), PNG, WebP and TIFF. The file is read by your browser; nothing is uploaded.
What the fields mean
| Field | What it reveals |
|---|---|
| GPS latitude / longitude | Where the photo was taken, often accurate to a few metres |
| DateTimeOriginal | The exact moment the shutter fired |
| Make / Model | Your phone or camera model |
| BodySerialNumber | A unique ID for your specific camera — links photos to one device |
| Software | The app or firmware that last saved the file |
| Artist / Copyright / OwnerName | Names, if you've set them in your camera |
Why it matters
A photo of your new car on a sales listing, taken on your driveway, can reveal your home address. A photo sent to an employer can reveal where you were on a sick day. Photojournalists and sellers routinely check before posting — it takes seconds.
"No metadata found"
That's good news: the photo has been stripped already (most social networks do this), or was saved by an app that doesn't write EXIF, such as a screenshot tool.
Next steps
- Clean a photo before sharing with the EXIF remover.
- Want this on your phone? Image Inspector for Android (coming soon) reads metadata, explains the privacy risks in plain English and exports clean copies — all on-device.
