Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No — the file is read entirely in your browser using the File API; nothing is sent to a server.

Why does this only read EXIF from JPEGs?

EXIF is a JPEG/TIFF-specific metadata format — PNGs and most other image formats don’t carry it at all, so there is nothing to extract from them.

What GPS data can be found in a photo?

If the camera or phone wrote GPS coordinates into the EXIF data, this tool reads and displays the exact latitude and longitude — the real physical location the photo was taken.

Does uploading a photo to social media expose this GPS data?

Most major platforms strip EXIF data (including GPS) automatically during upload, but the original file on your own device still carries it until you remove it yourself — check before sharing the raw file directly.

Can this tool read video EXIF data?

Video formats don’t use EXIF the way JPEGs do — for video, this tool reads real dimensions and duration via the browser’s own video decoder instead.

What image formats does this tool parse?

JPEG (with full EXIF support) and PNG (dimensions only, since PNG never carries EXIF) — both read directly from the file’s bytes, not a library.

Free tool

Image / video metadata viewer

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.

How to use the metadata viewer

Choose a file. A JPEG, PNG, or common video format — the file is read locally and never uploaded.
Review the file basics. Real pixel dimensions and file size, read from the file itself, not its filename.
Check for EXIF data (JPEG only). Camera make/model, orientation and date-taken, when the device wrote them into the file.
Look for GPS data specifically. If present, this is the exact location the photo was taken — decide whether to strip it before sharing.
Strip EXIF before sharing if needed. Most platforms strip EXIF automatically on upload, but the original file on your device still has it until you remove it yourself.

Worked examples

A phone photo with GPS data

A JPEG straight off a phone often carries GPS coordinates in its EXIF data, sometimes accurate to within about 5 meters — the viewer surfaces the exact latitude/longitude found, with a clear warning before you consider sharing the original file.

A screenshot (PNG)

PNGs never carry EXIF data, so a 1920×1080 screenshot shows real pixel dimensions and file size only — no camera or location section appears, because there is nothing to find.
