Image Metadata Viewer

1What is Image Metadata Viewer?

View the full metadata of any image.

Image Metadata Viewer is part of the Pixly suite of professional image tools. It runs entirely in your browser with no software to install, requires no design experience, and delivers results in seconds — whether you are processing one image or an entire batch. Every operation is applied on the full-quality decoded image, so the output preserves the fidelity of your original file.

2How does Image Metadata Viewer work?

The metadata viewer parses EXIF, XMP and IPTC records from your file and presents them in a readable table: camera make and model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, flash status, timestamps, GPS coordinates when present, plus software tags written by editors. Parsing is done on a copy of the file's metadata segments — pixels are never touched.

Unknown or proprietary tags are shown as raw identifiers with their byte size so photographers and developers can still spot unusual records (for example editing-software fingerprints).
