¿Qué hace Image Metadata Viewer?
Image Metadata Viewer permite inspeccionar datos directamente en el navegador y explica con claridad el resultado y sus límites. Capacidades verificadas: EXIF inspection, GPS field visibility, XMP and IPTC parsing, No metadata upload.
Metadata can be useful and privacy-sensitive
Keep camera and rights fields when they support an asset workflow. Remove or review GPS, device identifiers, author names, and timestamps before publishing a photo when they could expose private information.
¿Cómo se utiliza?
- Choose one supported local image no larger than 50 MB.
- Select Read metadata to parse available EXIF, TIFF, XMP, IPTC, ICC, GPS, and container fields.
- Search the JSON result for location, camera, date, author, or rights fields before sharing the image.
Ejemplo real de entrada y salida
Inspect a JPEG carrying camera information
Entrada
photo.jpg with EXIF Make="Canon" and Model="EOS R"Salida
{"file":{"name":"photo.jpg","type":"image/jpeg"},"metadata":{"Make":"Canon","Model":"EOS R"}}Only fields physically present in the selected file appear; the tool does not infer missing camera or location data.
Errores frecuentes y soluciones
| Síntoma | Causa probable | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| The result contains file facts but no EXIF fields. | The image was exported without metadata or a service stripped it. | Inspect the original camera file; metadata cannot be recovered from pixels after removal. |
| A date or GPS value looks unexpected. | Metadata may omit a time zone, use camera-local time, or store coordinates separately from display formatting. | Cross-check the original device settings and treat metadata as recorded claims, not guaranteed truth. |
