Image Metadata Viewer — Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read with the FileReader API and parsed by JavaScript in your browser tab. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored anywhere.
What kind of metadata does the viewer show?
EXIF (camera make and model, lens, exposure, ISO, capture date and time, software), GPS coordinates with a map link, XMP (creator, copyright, edit history), IPTC captions, embedded thumbnails and colour profile.
Why does it matter?
Metadata travels with the file. A photo can reveal where your home is, a PDF can reveal who wrote it and with what, an audio export can reveal the software and account used. Knowing what is inside lets you decide what to share — the Image Metadata Remover strips it in one step.
My photo is sideways after cleaning — why?
Cameras often store photos rotated and rely on an EXIF orientation flag. The "bake in rotation" setting (on by default) physically rotates such photos before saving so they stay upright; turn it off only if you want a strictly byte-level strip.
Can it also remove the metadata?
This page is read-only by design. Use the Image Metadata Remover — same parser, plus a lossless clean-up and download.
