Image inspect tools for reading EXIF metadata
Image Inspect Tools read metadata embedded in a local image. The category's EXIF Viewer shows camera, lens, capture time, dimensions, orientation, GPS, software, copyright fields, and raw tag identifiers. You can also search or group tags, review a GPS privacy warning, and export the metadata as JSON or CSV.
Read EXIF and related metadata
Choose EXIF Viewer when you need to inspect what a local image contains beside its visible pixels. It reads EXIF and related embedded metadata, including raw tag identifiers, so the inspection includes both familiar fields and the identifiers stored by the file.
- Check the camera and lens recorded in an image.
- Review capture time, dimensions, and orientation fields.
- Look through software, copyright, GPS, and raw tag fields.
Search tags, check GPS, and export metadata
Search the results for a specific tag. Group related fields when you want to read them together. The EXIF Viewer also shows a GPS privacy warning that calls out location metadata in the embedded fields.
After reviewing the fields, export the inspected metadata as JSON or CSV. The export records the metadata you checked, and the source image remains unchanged.
What Image Inspect Tools leave unchanged
The category reads metadata and leaves the source image unchanged. Choose Image Tools when you need to compress, convert, edit, create, or otherwise change an image.
Use EXIF Viewer to locate an orientation or GPS tag during the inspection. Its JSON and CSV exports record the metadata you checked; they do not rewrite the source image.
Check the fields that need review
Search for GPS tags when location metadata needs attention. The privacy warning gives that field a separate check before you pass the image or its metadata to someone else.
Camera, lens, capture time, dimensions, orientation, software, and copyright fields remain available in the inspection. Raw tag identifiers let you inspect the labels stored by the file alongside the displayed metadata.
