How to Use This Tool
- Paste exiftool output or EXIF field notes into textarea.
- Click Transform — passthrough for image-metadata-viewer slug.

- Strip EXIF with exiftool -all= before public upload.
About This Tool
Photographers verifying GPS stripping before publish, OSINT analysts examining camera make and model, and privacy reviewers checking EXIF before social upload search image metadata viewer for EXIF, IPTC, and XMP field display. VSPIC image-metadata-viewer maps to type client, kind generic-text in missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts — textarea plus Transform for browser-only local text processing.
Extract EXIF with exiftool, browser DevTools on some formats, or exif-js locally. Transform passthrough returns input unchanged today. Paste exiftool output for annotation until dedicated EXIF parser client ships.

- Copy output for OSINT and privacy tickets.
- Free without account.
Image metadata expectations versus generic-text
Real viewers parse JPEG APP1 EXIF segment, PNG tEXt chunks, and WebP XMP — displaying Make, Model, DateTimeOriginal, GPS.
image-metadata-viewer slug lacks image parser today.
GPS privacy risk
Smartphone photos embed GPS coordinates — strip before social media upload unless intentional geotag.
exiftool local workflow
exiftool -a -G1 -s photo.jpg — grouped tag names with numeric conversion for GPS.
generic-text passthrough
Transform returns input unchanged for image-metadata-viewer slug.
Relationship to pdf-metadata-viewer
pdf-metadata-viewer sibling also generic-text — document metadata notes not live parse.
Relationship to image-to-base64-converter
Base64 encode/decode siblings generic-text — metadata extraction separate workflow.
Future dedicated EXIF client
Registry may add exif-js upload widget. Update when missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts changes.
Client-side privacy
Parse locally with exiftool — never upload sensitive photos to untrusted EXIF viewers.
HEIC and RAW formats
exiftool supports CR2, NEF, HEIC — broader than browser-native parsers.
