View the metadata

Camera, exposure, dates and the GPS coordinates if there are any.

See everything a photograph is carrying: camera and lens model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, dates and, if location was on, the exact coordinates of where it was taken.

It is the other half of “Strip metadata”: first you look at what is there, then you decide whether it bothers you. Nothing leaves the tab, which with personal photos is not a small detail.

How to use it

  1. Drop in a photo.
  2. Read the data grouped by topic.
  3. If there is GPS, you get a prominent warning.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my photo have no metadata?
Because something stripped it along the way. WhatsApp, Instagram and most networks remove it on upload, and a screenshot never had any.
What exactly should worry me?
The GPS coordinates, especially on photos taken at home. Also the date and, in professional settings, the camera body’s serial number, which identifies the device.
How do I remove it?
With “Strip metadata”, which re-encodes the image from the bare pixels and copies no fields.
