Read-only metadata inspection

Free Metadata Viewer & EXIF Checker

Check what an image reveals before you share or clean it. This private image metadata viewer reads supported EXIF, GPS, camera, creator, C2PA, XMP, IPTC, and AI workflow fields inside your browser without uploading or changing the original file.

What happens locally

A readable report, not a black box.

01

See actual fields and values

Read supported camera details, capture dates, GPS coordinates, creator fields, comments, prompts, and workflow text—not only a generic “metadata found” message.

02

Read-only by design

Inspection does not rewrite the image, create a cleaned copy, or remove any field. The original file remains byte-for-byte unchanged.

03

Private local inspection

The image is parsed inside the current browser tab. File bytes, field values, coordinates, and serial numbers are never sent to AI MetaClean or an analytics service.

Important limit

The report covers supported standard structures in JPG, PNG, and WebP. A malformed file or proprietary application-specific block may contain data this version cannot decode, so an empty report is not a forensic guarantee that no hidden information exists.

Questions & boundaries

Know exactly what the report means.

File formats are messy. These answers describe the supported behavior of this version—not a promise that every trace everywhere has disappeared.

01How can I view image metadata online without uploading it?

Choose a supported JPG, PNG, or WebP file on this page. JavaScript in your browser reads the metadata locally and displays supported fields; the image and its metadata values are not uploaded.

02What can this EXIF checker show?

Depending on the file, it can show camera and lens details, capture dates, GPS coordinates, author and copyright fields, XMP and IPTC values, PNG text, AI prompts or workflows, and supported C2PA Content Credentials.

03Does viewing metadata change or remove anything?

No. The viewer is read-only. It does not rewrite the file, create a new copy, or remove metadata. Use the separate metadata remover only when you deliberately want a cleaned download.

04Why does the viewer show no metadata?

The file may already be clean, the exporting app may have removed its metadata, or the data may be stored in an unsupported proprietary structure. For sensitive work, verify with a second independent inspector.
