Use this EXIF viewer and image metadata editor to inspect JPG EXIF data, PNG text chunks, and XMP metadata before you publish or share an image. Everything runs locally in your browser, so the original file does not need to be uploaded.
What Image Metadata Is For
Image metadata stores extra information about a picture. EXIF metadata can describe camera make and model, orientation, lens settings, exposure, ISO, capture time, and sometimes GPS location. Descriptive metadata such as title, author, copyright, keywords, project names, or usage notes can help organize image libraries and clarify ownership.
For privacy, EXIF location and camera details are often removed before posting photos online. For asset management, title, description, author, copyright, and custom metadata fields can be useful when images move between teams, websites, DAM systems, or archives.
EXIF Metadata FAQ
Does EXIF only contain the fields shown here?
No. EXIF can contain many more tags than the common fields shown by basic viewers, including exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length, lens model, camera serial data, GPS coordinates, timestamps, thumbnails, and maker-specific private tags. This tool decodes common readable EXIF tags and shows unknown readable tags with their tag numbers when possible.
Can I add custom EXIF fields?
EXIF itself is based on predefined numeric tags, so arbitrary custom EXIF names are not universally supported. This tool saves custom fields as JPEG XMP metadata or PNG text metadata, which is the more practical format for custom key/value information.
What happens when metadata is removed?
The remover strips common metadata containers such as JPEG EXIF/XMP/comment/IPTC blocks and PNG text, iTXt, zTXt, and eXIf chunks while keeping the image pixels intact.
