How to use Image Metadata Viewer
1. Select your input
Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device using the file button or supported drop area. The standard file picker accepts browser-readable images up to 25 MB; decoding support depends on the file and browser.
2. Understand the settings
Sections group camera, date/time, exposure, lens, image properties, location and ownership data. Download PDF report creates a readable summary.
3. Process and review
Choose a photo, examine the available fields, and export the PDF when you need a record of what was found.
4. Save your result
The inspection itself does not need a new image download. Use Download PDF report to save the metadata summary, then check its image thumbnail and available fields.
Supported formats
Input: a browser-readable image up to 25 MB. Results show available readable embedded fields; the report download is PDF. Missing or unsupported metadata is not reconstructed.
When to use this tool
Inspect the metadata actually available in a selected image and prepare its report. Camera and location fields appear only when the file contains readable records.
What to check in the result
Missing EXIF or GPS does not prove manipulation or AI generation. Metadata can be changed and is one source of evidence rather than an authenticity certificate.
Continue with Remove Image Metadata when that step fits your workflow.
A practical example
Check whether a shared photo contains location coordinates before publishing it.
Capabilities and limitations
Absent metadata is not evidence of forgery. Fields can be edited and are not independently verified provenance.
Troubleshooting
If no metadata is shown, the file may lack readable embedded fields or use an unsupported layout. Absence of readable EXIF is not proof of editing.
Processing and privacy
Image pixels are processed on your device. Loading the website and processing assets still uses a network connection, and hosting may receive normal request information. Keep original files backed up.
Questions about Image Metadata Viewer
Does missing EXIF prove manipulation?
No. Sharing sites and ordinary exports often remove metadata.
Is the PDF an authenticity certificate?
No. It documents readable file information and carries its informational limitations.
