Que fait Image Metadata Viewer ?
Image Metadata Viewer permet de inspecter des données dans le navigateur et présente clairement le résultat et ses limites. Fonctions vérifiées : 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.
Comment l’utiliser ?
- 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.
Exemple réel d’entrée et de sortie
Inspect a JPEG carrying camera information
Entrée
photo.jpg with EXIF Make="Canon" and Model="EOS R"Sortie
{"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.
Erreurs fréquentes et corrections
| Symptôme | Cause probable | Correction |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
