File Metadata & EXIF Viewer
Extract hidden metadata from images, audio, and video files. Files contain far more information than their visible content — photographs store GPS coordinates, camera settings, and timestamps in EXIF data; audio files embed artist and album tags; videos include codec details, frame rates, and resolution. This tool surfaces all of it.
What Metadata Is Extracted
- Images — EXIF data including GPS location, camera make/model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and creation date
- Audio — ID3 tags: artist, album, title, track number, year, and embedded artwork info
- Video — Codec, duration, resolution, frame rate, and bitrate
Useful for photographers managing archives, developers debugging media pipelines, and anyone who wants to know what data their files expose.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of metadata can be extracted?
For images: EXIF data including GPS coordinates, camera model, lens, aperture, ISO, and timestamps. For audio: ID3 tags like artist, album, and title. For video: codec, resolution, frame rate, duration, and bitrate.
Can photos contain my GPS location in metadata?
Yes. Smartphones often embed precise GPS coordinates in photo EXIF data by default. This tool lets you verify what location data is stored before sharing images publicly. Use a metadata stripping tool to remove it if needed.
Is my file uploaded and stored?
Files are uploaded to the server for metadata extraction and are not stored after the request. The extracted metadata is returned and the file is discarded immediately.
What file formats are supported for metadata extraction?
Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, MP3, WAV, FLAC, MP4, MOV, and AVI. EXIF extraction is most comprehensive for JPEG and TIFF files from digital cameras.
