What This Viewer Shows — and What Browsers Hide

The tool reads what the browser platform exposes for a local file: dimensions, format, MIME type, exact byte size, and the file-system timestamps. That is enough to answer the practical pre-publication question "how big and what shape is this?" without opening an editor.

Full camera EXIF — lens model, exposure, and GPS coordinates — is not reliably exposed by browser image APIs, so it is not shown rather than guessed. If your goal is publishing safely, treat any photo as metadata-carrying until proven otherwise, and use the EXIF remover or a re-export through the image tools to strip what you cannot inspect.

How the Processing Works

  1. Load an image file by dragging it onto the viewer or using the file picker.
  2. The tool reads the header and displays format, MIME type, dimensions, and exact file size.
  3. Where the browser exposes metadata — such as EXIF tags readable by the platform — they are shown in a readable table.
  4. Use the information to check whether a photo contains camera or location data before you publish it.

Typical Use

Check what a photo would reveal
Input: IMG_2041.jpg, 6000×4000, 5.2 MB
Output: Format JPEG, MIME image/jpeg, 6000×4000 px, 5.2 MB
Knowing the real dimensions and size before uploading helps you decide whether to compress or resize first, and whether metadata cleanup is needed.
Inspect a downloaded image
Input: Unknown-4f9c.png
Output: Format PNG, MIME image/png, 1200×630 px, 412 KB
The viewer identifies the format from the file signature, which is useful even when the file extension has been changed.

Common Questions

Does this viewer show GPS coordinates?

It shows metadata the browser exposes. GPS EXIF tags are often not readable through the standard browser APIs, so for a full EXIF dump use dedicated desktop software.

Is the metadata read locally?

Yes. The file is parsed entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Why are some fields empty?

Many cameras and export tools strip metadata automatically. If the file simply has no EXIF block, no fields are shown — that is normal and privacy-positive.
