Check image metadata before sharing

Upload an image to check for readable metadata, confirm privacy-sensitive fields, and log the upload for admin follow-up.

Maximum file size: 20.0 MB.

Uploaded images are deleted within 1 hour as part of our privacy workflow.

Best support starts with JPG and JPEG. PNG, WebP, TIFF, and HEIC are handled on a best-effort basis.

Select an image to inspect metadata fields such as camera make, model, orientation, timestamps, or GPS indicators.

When to use an image metadata checker

A checker is helpful before you publish screenshots, camera originals, or user-generated photos. It tells you whether metadata survived export and whether extra review is needed.

This page emphasizes the checking workflow instead of only displaying the data. The result area helps you quickly confirm if EXIF is present at all.

How this checker handles unsupported or empty files

If the file has no readable metadata, the page says so explicitly. If the format is unsupported, the file is too large, or parsing fails, you get a clear error message.

That makes the page useful as an operational check, not just a viewer for ideal cases.

FAQ

Can this checker confirm whether EXIF still exists?

Yes. The result summary makes it easy to see whether readable metadata fields were found and whether key indicators such as camera or GPS data are present.

Does the checker save the full metadata values?

No. The database stores masked summaries only, and sensitive raw values such as GPS coordinates are not persisted.

Why might I see an error instead of a result table?

Errors appear when the file is too large, unsupported, or cannot be parsed reliably. That behavior is intentional so the state is explicit.

What happens to uploaded images?

Each uploaded image enters a deletion workflow with a stated one-hour retention window for this MVP.
