What is image metadata?
Besides the picture itself, an image file can store extra information about it: how, when and with what it was taken or edited. This information is called metadata. You do not see it when you look at the image, but anyone who receives the file can read it.
What information can an image contain?
- Camera: make, model, lens and sometimes a serial number.
- Capture: date and time, exposure, aperture, ISO, focal length.
- Location: GPS coordinates, if location was switched on when the photo was taken.
- Software and rights: the editing program, author, copyright or comments.
Many images contain only some of these fields, and some contain none at all.
What is EXIF?
EXIF is the most common metadata format for photos. Cameras and phones write it into JPG files, and it can also appear in PNG and WebP. Other formats you may see listed are XMP (often added by editing software), IPTC (used by photographers and agencies) and PNG text entries.
Can photos contain GPS coordinates?
Yes. If location services were enabled, a phone photo can contain the latitude and longitude of the place it was taken. This tool shows them as numbers only. It does not look up an address and does not load a map, so no location data leaves your device. To share a photo without this information, use Remove Image Metadata.
Supported formats
- JPG: EXIF (including GPS), XMP, IPTC and comments.
- PNG: EXIF (eXIf chunk), XMP, text entries and the modification time.
- WebP: EXIF and XMP.
The tool reads the metadata formats listed above. Rare or manufacturer-specific data may be shown only as a size, not in detail.

Frequently asked questions
What metadata can a photo contain?
Typically camera make and model, date and time, exposure settings, the editing software and, if location was on, GPS coordinates. Author, copyright and comments are also possible. Many images contain only a few of these fields.
Can photos contain GPS location?
Yes, if location services were enabled when the photo was taken. The tool shows the coordinates as numbers. It does not look up addresses or open a map.
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is a standard way of storing camera and capture information inside an image file, mostly in JPG photos. It is written automatically by cameras and phones.
Do screenshots contain EXIF data?
Usually little or none. Screenshots are often PNG files, which may carry a few text entries or a timestamp but rarely camera or location data. The tool shows exactly what your file contains.
Why does my image show no metadata?
Many apps and websites remove metadata when you save or share an image, and screenshots rarely have any. The tool reports what it can read; rare manufacturer-specific formats may not be listed in detail.
Does viewing metadata change my image?
No. The file is only read, never modified or saved.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The metadata is read by your browser on your device.
