WHY VIEW IMAGE METADATA?
Why Check the Metadata in an Image?
Image metadata can help you understand what information is embedded in a file before sharing, publishing, archiving, or processing it.
Protect Your Privacy
Metadata may contain location, timestamps, camera or device information, and other identifying details when present.
Understand How an Image Was Created
Camera settings, software, timestamps, and other creation-related details can show how a file was produced.
Check Images Before Sharing
Inspecting an image helps you understand what information accompanies it before you send or publish the file.
Check Technical Image Information
Review dimensions, color profiles, orientation, thumbnails, and other technical properties when available.

IMAGE METADATA FAQ
Questions About Viewing Image Metadata
What is image metadata?
Image metadata is information stored in or associated with an image file that describes the image, how it was created, or technical properties such as dimensions and color information.
What is EXIF data?
EXIF data is image metadata commonly used for camera and capture details, including dates, exposure, lens information, dimensions, and GPS fields when those values are present.
Can image metadata contain GPS coordinates?
Yes. Some images contain GPS coordinates or other location fields. HeyMetadata displays supported GPS fields when they are present and readable in the selected file.
Can I view EXIF data without changing my image?
Yes. The image viewer inspects the selected file in your browser and does not modify the original image. You can also generate a PDF report of the available results.
Which image formats does HeyMetadata support?
The image viewer supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and HEIC/HEIF images.
Can I view JPG/JPEG metadata?
Yes. Use the JPG/JPEG metadata viewer to inspect available EXIF, GPS, camera, timestamp, thumbnail, JFIF, and other supported image fields when present.
Can I view PNG metadata?
Yes. PNG files may expose available EXIF, XMP, PNG text or chunk metadata, ICC/color information, and technical image fields depending on the file.
Can I view HEIC metadata?
Yes. HEIC/HEIF images may expose available EXIF, GPS, camera, HEIF/HEVC-related technical information, and other supported fields.
Why does my image have no GPS or EXIF data?
The image may not contain those fields, they may have been removed or stripped during export, or the selected file may use metadata structures that do not include readable values.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No upload is required for image inspection. The selected file is processed locally in your browser on your device, so the metadata inspection workflow does not send the image to a server.
Can I download a report of my image metadata?
Yes. After scanning, use Download Metadata Report to generate a local PDF containing the available file, metadata, and technical results found during inspection.
