Upload an image or video and see its real dimensions, file size, and — for a JPEG — its actual EXIF data (camera make/model, orientation, date taken, and GPS coordinates when the device wrote them), read directly from the file’s bytes in your browser. GPS data is flagged loudly, since it is the exact physical location the photo was taken.
Information stored inside the file alongside the picture. For photos it is mostly EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format), which cameras and phones write when they take a picture: the device, the settings, the date and often the GPS location. Anyone who has the original file can read it, which is why it is worth checking before you share one.
The file is read on your device, from its own bytes, and never uploaded. By file type:
| File | What you see |
|---|---|
| JPEG photo | Dimensions, file size, and EXIF: camera make and model, orientation, date taken, GPS location |
| PNG image | Dimensions and file size |
| Video (MP4, MOV, WebM and others the browser plays) | Dimensions, duration and file size |
To change the dimensions once you know them, use the image resizer, and check a video against each network with the video length limits.
A JPEG straight off a phone often carries GPS coordinates in its EXIF data — the viewer shows the exact latitude and longitude found (such as 51.50072, -0.12462, to five decimal places), with a clear warning before you share the original file.
A screenshot saved as PNG shows its real pixel dimensions, such as 1920×1080, and its file size; screenshots carry no camera or location data, so no EXIF section appears.
Yes, when the phone saved its location. A photo with GPS in its EXIF carries the latitude and longitude where it was taken, which can be a home, a school or a workplace. The viewer flags GPS in red when it finds it. Before you send an original file by email, chat or a file link, check it here and remove the location if you do not want it shared.

Do social networks keep photo metadata?
The big networks remove most metadata, including location, from the copy they show, but the original on your device keeps it. SkedCast removes EXIF and GPS data from every image before it is posted, so a scheduled post never carries a photo’s location; your originals stay in the media library for reuse.
