How to Use the Image Metadata Viewer Online
Image Metadata Viewer shows what a picture file knows about itself. The top rows are the basics: file name, size in KB, type, last-modified date and pixel dimensions. Below that come the EXIF tags a camera wrote, such as the model, the date the shot was taken, the exposure and any GPS position. If there is no EXIF block, it says so, which is normal for screenshots and images edited on the web.
Shows the EXIF data hidden in a photo. A phone photo typically records the exact model, the settings, the date to the second and frequently the GPS coordinates — considerably more than most people intend to publish alongside a picture.

Tips and Good to Know
-
It reads, it does not remove. To share a photo without the tags, use the Image Metadata Remover or the EXIF Remover.
-
EXIF is read from JPGs. For a PNG or WebP you still get the file basics and dimensions, but camera tags are usually absent.
-
For a print-size answer in inches or megapixels, the Image Resolution Checker does that maths; this page shows raw values.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about this tool.
Do I need to install anything to use the Image Metadata Viewer?
No. Image Metadata Viewer runs entirely in your browser — there is nothing to download, no extension and no desktop program. It works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone.
Is it safe to use the Image Metadata Viewer online?
Safer than the usual alternative, yes. Most online tools upload your file to a server you know nothing about, where it sits until someone deletes it. Here the file never leaves your device — the processing happens in the page itself, so there is no server copy to leak, retain or sell.
Does Image Metadata Viewer reduce my photo’s quality?
Converting and cropping keep quality close to the original. Compressing trades a little detail for a much smaller file, and a lighter setting keeps more of it. Compare the preview with your original before saving.
Will my photo be accepted by the exam form?
The exam photo tools follow the size, dimensions and file weight given in the official notice. Always read the latest notice too, because boards sometimes change their rules between years.
Can I edit pictures with Image Metadata Viewer straight from my gallery?
Yes. Pick a photo from your gallery or take one with the camera, then save the result back to your phone. Everything works in the browser, so there is no app to install.
Is Image Metadata Viewer free with no watermark?
Yes. Use it for as many pictures as you need without an account, and each image comes back without any logo or mark from the site.
