Frequently Asked Questions

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing metadata in image files. When you take a photo, your camera or smartphone automatically embeds information like camera model, date/time, exposure settings, and sometimes GPS coordinates into the image file. You can also view a visual summary with our JPG Analyzer.

Just upload your JPEG here - the PPI is displayed automatically in the file info bar and in the Stats section below the toolbar. PPI (pixels per inch) is stored in three EXIF tags: XResolution, YResolution, and ResolutionUnit. Most JPEGs from cameras and phones store 72 PPI by default, while images exported for print typically use 300 PPI. You can find these tags in the Image category of the Summary view. Note that PPI stored in a JPEG is a metadata hint - it does not change the actual pixel dimensions of the image. To resize your image for a specific print size, use our Image Resizer.

Yes! Our viewer supports RAW formats from major camera manufacturers including Canon (CR2, CR3), Nikon (NEF), Sony (ARW), Adobe DNG, Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Fujifilm (RAF), and more. RAW files typically contain the most comprehensive metadata.

EXIF contains technical camera data (settings, date, GPS). XMP is Adobe's extensible format for editing history, ratings, and keywords. IPTC is used by news agencies for captions, credits, and copyright. Professional images often contain all three.

Several reasons: screenshots don't have EXIF data, social media platforms often strip metadata for privacy, image editing software may remove it, or privacy settings on your device may prevent EXIF from being saved. PNG files typically don't contain traditional EXIF data - try our PNG Analyzer for those. If you have a HEIC file, convert it to JPG first for best metadata support.

Yes, your files are completely secure. All metadata extraction happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for your photos and their metadata.

Many cameras embed a small preview image inside the file's metadata. This thumbnail allows quick previewing without loading the full image. Our viewer can extract and display these embedded thumbnails, which is especially useful for large RAW files.

Upload your image - the Privacy Score panel will automatically flag sensitive tags like GPS coordinates, device serial numbers, and software edit history. Use the checkboxes to select which categories to remove, then click Download Cleaned Image. The processing happens entirely in your browser, so your original file is never sent anywhere. For JPEG and PNG files, metadata is stripped via the browser Canvas API. If you need to clean multiple photos at once, try the free Batch Metadata Remover at OptimizePNG.com.

The Privacy Score rates how much personally identifiable information is embedded in your image. High risk means GPS coordinates or device serial numbers were found - these can reveal exactly where and with what camera the photo was taken. Medium risk means software or author metadata was found. Low risk means no sensitive tags were detected. Use the Privacy Tools panel to strip sensitive tags before sharing your photo online.
