EXIF & Metadata Analyzer

Read the GPS coordinates, camera info, timestamps and software hidden in an image, or strip it before you share the photo. The Strip tab also cleans PDFs and Office documents.

All analysis and stripping happens locally in your browser. Files are never uploaded to any server.

How the results are checked

The reader handles JPEG (Exif, XMP, IPTC, comments, multi-picture data), PNG (eXIf chunk, text chunks including compressed ones and ImageMagick “Raw profile” Exif), WebP, TIFF and HEIC/AVIF. Its results are compared with ExifTool, the reference metadata reader, on test images in every format, and on damaged and truncated files that must never break the page.

Not read: maker notes (camera-brand private data, shown only as their size), extended XMP split over several JPEG segments, and formats such as GIF, BMP, JPEG XL and SVG. Use ExifTool for a full forensic dump.

🔎 Why EXIF Matters for OSINT

EXIF metadata embedded in photos can reveal sensitive information useful in Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigations:

  • Location tracking — GPS coordinates can pinpoint where a photo was taken
  • Device identification — Camera make/model and serial numbers can link photos to a specific device
  • Timestamp analysis — Original date/time reveals when a photo was actually captured
  • Software forensics — Editing software tags show if an image was modified

Always strip EXIF data before sharing photos publicly if you want to protect your privacy: use the Strip metadata tab.

File Signature Identifier & MIME Types
Identify file formats by their magic numbers (drop a file, browser reads the first 64 KiB only, or paste hex; 95 signatures, exact format for PE, ELF, ZIP/Office/JAR/APK and media containers, renamed-file warning) and look up MIME types by extension
