Photo Metadata Checker
Check photo metadata online before you share. Choose the exact file you plan to send to see whether readable location, date, device, or creator fields are present. The check runs in your browser; it does not upload your photo or require an account. You can repeat the check with another file.
Answer and scope
What can this online photo metadata checker tell me?
This browser checker reports whether supported populated fields were read in four categories: location, dates and times, device details, and creator or notes. Select one JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, or AVIF file up to 20 MB. It does not show every tag or raw value, edit the file, inspect visible details, or produce a verified copy. HEIC and AVIF XMP/IPTC are outside its scope. “Not found” means no matching field was read, not that the file is private; a failed parse provides no result.
Checks you can make before sharing
- Choose the exact export or attachment intended for the recipient; it may differ from the original.
- Read the category result and the format limits. Compare separate copies by checking each in turn, without changing either file.
- Review pixels yourself. If cleanup is needed, use a suitable local editor or HushPic and inspect the newly generated copy.

How to check photo metadata without an upload
- 1Choose the exact file
Select a supported photo up to 20 MB. Use the final export if that is what you plan to send.
- 2Read the categories
The EXIF check reports readable location, date, device, and creator categories, not a full list of tag values.
- 3Check the limits
“Not found” is not a guarantee. HEIC and AVIF XMP/IPTC and visible details are outside this browser check.
- 4Decide what to share
Nothing is removed here. For supported cleanup and visual review, use HushPic and inspect its separately generated copy.

Reading your result
What the detected categories can reveal.
Dates and times
Capture and modification timestamps can expose when a photo was made or changed, even when the image itself gives no clue.
Device details
Camera make, model, software, lens, or serial fields may identify the equipment and editing tools used.
Creator and notes
Author, copyright, caption, title, or comment fields can contain names or private notes that are invisible in the photo preview.
Method and limits
Hidden fields, not the pixels.
This read-only checker uses the open-source exifr parser in your browser. It reads supported EXIF, XMP, and IPTC fields from JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files. For HEIC and AVIF, it checks supported EXIF/GPS fields, but not XMP or IPTC. It shows category presence only—not every tag or value.
Use the file you will actually share. An export, screenshot, or social-media download may carry different metadata from the original. “Not found” cannot tell you whether a field was never recorded, was removed earlier, or is outside this checker’s scope.
What to do next
Check the exact copy you plan to share.
A browser result cannot prove a photo is private. Visible names, faces, addresses, and codes may still be present, and this page does not clean or save a new file. HushPic checks supported metadata and visible details on your device, then verifies a separate shareable copy while leaving the original unchanged.
If this check finds a category, review the original and the intended sharing destination. For a supported full privacy flow, open that photo in HushPic, review suggested masks, and share only a copy that passes its post-write verification.
FAQ
Before you upload or share.
Does this tool upload my photo?
No. The selected file is parsed in your browser. We count aggregate page, tool, and store-link events; we do not send photo contents, filenames, or metadata values to analytics.
Is this a full EXIF viewer?
No. This checker highlights supported privacy categories. It does not display every EXIF tag or raw field value. Use it as a first check, not a complete metadata inventory.
Does “not found” mean my photo is safe?
No. Some formats and metadata carriers are outside this browser check, and visible information is not scanned here. Review the exact file and its pixels before sharing.
Why does an exported photo show no metadata?
The file you selected may not be the original. Exporting, taking a screenshot, or downloading a photo from another service can change which fields remain. This checker reports only what it can read in the selected copy.
Can this page remove metadata?
No. It only checks supported readable fields. HushPic can create and re-scan a separate copy within its supported scope, without changing your original.
