Does this show GPS location or camera model?
No. It reads basic file properties like name, type, size, and dimensions — not embedded EXIF tags.

View an Image's File Details
See an image's file name, type, size, dimensions, and megapixels, right in your browser.
What this actually reads — and what it doesn't
This tool reports basic file information the browser can read directly: file name, MIME type, size in KB, pixel dimensions, computed megapixels, an estimated print size at 300 DPI, and the file's last-modified timestamp. It does not extract embedded EXIF tags like camera make and model, GPS coordinates, or the photo's original capture date — those live inside the file's binary metadata, which this tool doesn't parse.
If you need those deeper EXIF details specifically, this page isn't the right tool; it's built for the simpler, more common question of "how big is this file and what are its dimensions," not full metadata extraction.
Workflow at a glance
Use this quick flow to understand where the tool fits in your work and what to review before relying on the output.
Review checklist
Before
Know what you actually need — basic file info versus deeper embedded EXIF tags this tool doesn't read.
After
Cross-check the dimensions and size against whatever requirement you're verifying the image against.
When basic file info is what you need
Use it for a quick check of an image's basic file properties — dimensions, size, format — before uploading it somewhere with specific requirements, without needing to right-click and dig through your operating system's file properties.
Who checks image file details
Anyone checking upload requirements
Confirm an image's dimensions and file size before a form or portal that specifies limits.
Designers comparing assets
Quickly check the resolution and size of a batch of images without opening each in an editor.
Students and applicants
Verify a photo meets a portal's stated size or dimension requirements.
Anyone curious about a file's basics
Get quick file info without digging through operating system file properties.
What's shown in the output
File name, type, and size
Basic properties read directly from the file object.
Pixel dimensions and megapixels
Computed from the image's natural width and height.
Estimated 300 DPI print size
A calculated estimate of physical print dimensions, not a value read from the file.
Last modified timestamp
The file's last-modified date and time, as reported by your operating system.

Where the file is read
The file is read directly in your browser to compute these values — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Using the numbers correctly
- Use the megapixel and dimension figures to judge whether an image is actually high-resolution or just a large file.
- Treat the estimated 300 DPI print size as a rough guide, not an exact print specification.
- Remember this doesn't show embedded EXIF data like GPS or camera model — it's file-level info only.
- Check the last-modified date if you need to confirm which version of a file you're looking at.
Metadata mistakes to avoid
Expecting real EXIF data
This tool doesn't extract camera, GPS, or capture-date metadata embedded in the file — it only reads basic file properties.
Treating the DPI estimate as exact
The 300 DPI print size is a calculated estimate based on pixel dimensions, not a value stored in the file.
Confusing file size with image quality
A small file size doesn't necessarily mean low quality, and vice versa — check dimensions too.
Assuming last-modified equals the original capture date
This timestamp reflects the file on your device, which can differ from when the photo was actually taken.
If you need real EXIF tags instead
Image Metadata Viewer is built for quick file-level checks — dimensions, size, and an estimated print size — not full EXIF extraction. If you specifically need GPS, camera, or capture-date metadata, this tool won't surface it.

FAQ
Image Metadata Viewer FAQ
Answers for using Image Metadata Viewer on I Love Tool XYZ.
Is the 300 DPI print size an exact value?
No, it's a calculated estimate based on the image's pixel dimensions.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read directly in your browser.
What's the difference between this and EXIF Remover?
This tool only displays file information; EXIF Remover strips metadata by re-encoding the image.
