About Image Metadata Extractor
Image Metadata Extractor reads the EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and ICC profile data embedded in an image and presents it as structured fields: dimensions, camera make and model, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, GPS coordinates (with a clickable map link), capture timestamp, software, copyright, and the colour profile. Most JPEG, TIFF, HEIC, WebP, and many RAW formats are supported.
Reach for it whenever you need to know what is inside an image beyond the pixels: confirming a photo was taken with the camera the metadata claims, verifying that a screenshot has no embedded GPS before sharing, debugging a colour-management issue by reading the embedded ICC profile, or pulling capture timestamps for a chronological gallery. The image stays on your device — every byte is read locally, which matters because EXIF often contains GPS coordinates and other private data. Image to Base64 is the converter for embedding the image in code; this tool is for reading what is already inside it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the image uploaded anywhere?
No. Every byte is read in your browser using the local FileReader API. You can verify this by inspecting your network tab while loading an image — there is no outbound request. Important because EXIF often contains GPS coordinates, device serial numbers, and capture timestamps you may not want to share.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG, TIFF, HEIC / HEIF, WebP, and most RAW formats (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG). PNG has limited metadata (no EXIF by default; some tools add it as a non-standard chunk). SVG is XML and uses entirely different metadata conventions; this tool does not parse SVG.
Can I strip metadata before sharing?
Not from this tool — it only reads. To strip metadata, re-export the image from any image editor (most strip EXIF by default), or use a CLI tool like ExifTool. For social sharing, most platforms strip EXIF on upload, but this is not guaranteed; check before relying on it.
Why are some fields missing from my image?
Because the camera or capture app did not record them. Smartphone cameras record almost everything; older point-and-shoots may skip lens and GPS; screenshots typically have only dimensions and the capture timestamp. The tool shows whatever is present and labels missing fields rather than guessing.
