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

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.

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, and device metadata from images, videos, and documents after signup.
