Frequently Asked Questions
What is image metadata?
Image metadata, also called EXIF data, is hidden information embedded in image files. It includes camera settings, date/time, GPS coordinates, and other technical details about how the photo was taken.
Can I view metadata from any image?
Most images contain some metadata, but the amount varies. Photos taken with smartphones or digital cameras typically have extensive EXIF data, while edited or converted images may have less metadata.
Does viewing metadata modify my image?
No, viewing metadata is a read-only operation. Your original image file remains completely unchanged.
Can I see GPS coordinates in metadata?
Yes, if your image contains location data, you'll see GPS coordinates, altitude, and direction information. This is especially common in photos taken with smartphones that have location services enabled.
Is the metadata viewer free to use?
Yes, our metadata viewer is completely free. No registration, no watermarks, and no hidden fees.
