What Is an Image Metadata Viewer?
An image metadata viewer reads the hidden information stored inside a photo file — known as EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data. This metadata includes details like the camera model, lens, shutter speed, ISO, GPS coordinates, date and time the photo was taken, and even the photographer's name. Tooliva's free online image metadata viewer lets you inspect all of this information instantly without installing any software.
Why Use Tooliva's Image Metadata Viewer?
Photographers need metadata to review camera settings and replicate successful shots. Web developers check metadata to verify images are properly tagged before uploading to a website. Privacy-conscious users inspect photos before sharing them online to remove GPS locations and personal information. Journalists and researchers use metadata to verify the authenticity and source of images. Tooliva processes everything in your browser, so your photos stay private.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does every image contain metadata?
Most photos from cameras and phones include EXIF metadata. Some social media platforms strip metadata when you upload images. Screenshots and edited images may have different or reduced metadata.
Q: Can I remove metadata from my images?
This tool is for viewing metadata only. To strip metadata before sharing, you can use an image converter to re-save the image, which typically removes EXIF data, or use a dedicated metadata removal tool.
Q: Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. All metadata extraction happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your image never leaves your device.
Q: What image formats are supported?
The viewer supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and HEIC files. EXIF data is most commonly found in JPEG and HEIC photos.
