Data and files

Image metadata reader

Inspect image dimensions and supported EXIF fields without uploading files.

Static JPEG, PNG and WebP: up to 5 MiB, 8 megapixels and 4096 px per side. Local reading of an EXIF subset; metadata is not changed or removed.

Choose your input to begin.

What this tool does

Inspect static JPEG, PNG and WebP headers and a bounded EXIF subset. Encoded dimensions and file properties are distinguished from capture time.

How to use it

  1. Select a compatible local image.
  2. Choose Read metadata and review the format, dimensions and file properties.
  3. Inspect supported EXIF fields and the GPS warning before sharing the image.

Verifiable example

Input
A synthetic 80 × 60 JPEG with Make=ViBytes Tools Fixture and DateTimeOriginal=2024:01:02 03:04:05.
Expected result
image/jpeg, 80 × 60, literal make and EXIF date; file modification time appears separately.

Limitations to review

  • Up to 5 MiB, 8 megapixels and 4096 px per side; EXIF up to 256 KiB and 128 entries per IFD. Only supported make, model, orientation and EXIF dates.
  • No XMP/IPTC/MakerNote reading or metadata removal. Detecting a GPS directory does not verify coordinates; absence does not prove privacy. Dates do not certify authenticity.
