This viewer reads your file locally in the browser. Your file never leaves your device. Results are a practical preview, not a forensic guarantee. A missing metadata signal is unknown, not proof the file is clean.

How our local viewer works

1

Select a file

Drag and drop or pick a file. Transfers stay on your device - nothing is uploaded to MetaRemove servers.

2

Parse metadata only

We read headers, EXIF blocks, PDF info dictionaries, Office properties, or media tags without changing file content.

3

Review grouped results

Timestamps, authorship, location, device, and technical fields are grouped so you can spot privacy risks quickly.

What metadata can you view?

  • Timestamps, author, and software fields
  • Location data when present (GPS, geotags)
  • Technical details like dimensions, codecs, or sample rates
  • Rights, captions, keywords, and descriptive tags
  • Device and encoder fingerprints
  • C2PA / Content Credentials containers in JPEG, PNG, PDF and MP4 when present

Frequently asked questions

Is this metadata viewer safe to use?

Yes. Files are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded to our servers. We do not retain your content.

Does this work for EXIF data?

Absolutely - if your image has EXIF (camera, GPS, timestamps), we surface it clearly alongside other metadata.

Can this reveal where a photo was taken?

If GPS tags exist, we show the coordinates. If no GPS tags exist, there is no location information to display.

Do files from Claude include Content Credentials?

Some generative tools, including Claude, can attach a C2PA / Content Credentials container when they export a file. This viewer reports whether that container is present. It does not read pixel watermarks.

Can metadata be wrong?

Metadata can be edited or stripped, so treat it as helpful context rather than guaranteed truth.

Looking to remove metadata instead?

Use MetaRemove's paid tools to strip EXIF, GPS, author, device metadata and C2PA from supported stills and MP4 after signup.
