Image Metadata Viewer

See what's hidden inside a photo: camera make and model, exposure settings, capture dates and — most importantly — whether it contains the GPS coordinates of where it was taken. Because this check runs entirely in your browser, it's safe to inspect even sensitive photos.

How to use Filesvo

  1. Select or drop a JPG, PNG or WebP file, or paste an image from your clipboard.
  2. Review the metadata table — camera, photo settings, dates and any embedded text.
  3. If a GPS location is found, Filesvo warns you and links to the Remove EXIF tool.

What EXIF metadata reveals

Cameras and phones write EXIF metadata into every photo: the device used, lens, exposure settings, and the exact date and time of capture. Editing software often adds its own entries. None of this is visible in the image itself, but it travels with the file wherever it's shared.

The most sensitive field is GPS position. Phones embed precise coordinates by default, which means a casually shared photo can reveal a home address or workplace. Filesvo converts embedded coordinates to plain latitude and longitude and flags them prominently, so you know exactly what a recipient could learn before you share.

Private by design

Your files are processed directly in your browser using the browser's built-in image APIs and are not uploaded to Filesvo. Nothing is stored on our servers, because nothing ever reaches them.

Frequently asked questions

Which metadata does this tool show?
The commonly used EXIF fields: camera make and model, lens, exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length, orientation, capture and modification dates, software, artist, copyright and GPS coordinates, plus text comments embedded in PNG files. Obscure vendor-specific maker notes are not decoded.
Is it safe to check a sensitive photo here?
Yes. The file is parsed by JavaScript running in your own browser and is never transmitted. You can verify this: the tool keeps working with your internet connection switched off.
My photo shows no metadata — why?
Many platforms, including most social networks and messaging apps, strip metadata when you upload or send an image. Screenshots also carry little metadata. An empty result genuinely means there's nothing of note in the file.
How do I remove the metadata I found?
Use the Remove EXIF tool. It deletes metadata losslessly — without re-encoding or changing image quality — so you get a clean copy safe to share.
