Browser-side image workflow25MB recommended limit.
EXIF Viewer
Choose a local image, adjust the options, then generate a browser-side result.

Drop an image here

JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, GIF, and browser-readable images.

Mobile processing guidance

On mobile, start with one browser-readable image under 10MB before trying larger files.

File limit

25MB recommended limit.; keep very large images under browser memory limits.

Low-memory risk

Canvas-based image operations can fail when pixel dimensions, file count, or browser memory are too high.

Retry path

If generation fails, retry with fewer images, smaller dimensions, JPG/WebP output, or lower quality.

Preview and output

Output appears in the preview panel after processing.

Quick answer

Use the EXIF Viewer to inspect a local image before publishing or sharing it.

It shows safe metadata summaries such as dimensions, type, size bucket, last-modified date, and whether common EXIF blocks appear.

Best inputs

Photos before sharing

Check whether camera metadata exists before uploading a photo to a public platform.

Web assets

Inspect dimensions and format before resizing, compressing, or converting.

Documentation images

Confirm source size and type before adding screenshots to docs or articles.

How inspection works
The tool reads the selected file in the browser and reports safe summary fields.
It does not display raw EXIF payloads.
GPS presence is summarized without exposing coordinates.
Metadata support varies by image type and browser.
Example, Assumption, and Limitation
Use the result as a practical estimate or transformation, then confirm edge cases for critical work.

Photo check

Select a JPG and confirm whether EXIF metadata appears before sharing the photo.

Screenshot check

Select a PNG screenshot and confirm pixel dimensions before resizing.

Limit

For legal, forensic, or RAW-camera metadata workflows, use a dedicated desktop metadata tool.

Common mistakes to avoid
These checks help prevent bad outputs, failed exports, and confusing results.

Expecting full forensic EXIF

This page is a quick browser inspection tool, not a full metadata extraction suite.

Sharing GPS metadata accidentally

If GPS presence is detected, consider using EXIF Remover before publishing.

Forgetting the original

Keep the original file if camera metadata matters for your workflow.

Common use cases
Use these scenarios to decide which input, assumption, or follow-up tool fits this specific task.

Privacy review

Check a photo before posting to social platforms.

Asset QA

Confirm image dimensions before sending a design handoff.

Docs publishing

Inspect screenshots before adding them to a blog or docs page.

Compression planning

Decide whether to resize, compress, or strip metadata next.

Frequently asked questions
Does EXIF Viewer upload my image?

The public tool is designed for browser-side processing based on the current implementation. Avoid using sensitive images unless you have reviewed the implementation and your own data requirements.

Will metadata be preserved?

Canvas-based exports usually change or remove metadata. Keep the original file when metadata, color profiles, or exact camera details matter.

Why can a browser image tool fail?

Very large files, unusual formats, limited memory, unsupported browser encoders, or SVG features the browser cannot render can cause failures.

When should I use EXIF Viewer?

Use it when you need a quick local metadata summary before sharing or processing an image.

Suggested workflow

Image publishing workflow

Inspect the source, prepare the output, then compress or convert for the final destination.
