Image metadata FAQ

Can it read every HEIC file?

Browsers often cannot display HEIC dimensions, but this tool can still show basic file and container brand information.

Does it remove metadata?

No. It only displays metadata. It does not edit or strip files.

Is the image uploaded?

No. Inspection runs in the browser.

Image metadata guide

Image Metadata Viewer shows file details, dimensions, and basic metadata hints for photos and graphics. It is useful before publishing images, sharing files, or checking whether a photo may contain sensitive camera or location information.

Check image dimensions

Confirm width, height, file type, and size before uploading to a website or form.

Review privacy risk

Look for signs that a photo may contain EXIF or location-related metadata.

Organize assets

Inspect basic image properties when sorting screenshots, camera photos, and design exports.

Image metadata QA sample

A photo review should distinguish basic file properties from privacy-sensitive metadata that may require removal elsewhere.

Image details

File: site-photo.jpg
Dimensions: 1600 x 900
Possible EXIF: camera model, capture time, location fields

Review decision

Publish size: acceptable for web preview
Privacy action: remove EXIF in an editor before sharing publicly if location fields are present

Case study: preparing a photo for a support article

A documentation writer checks a screenshot and a phone photo before adding them to a support article. They confirm dimensions, avoid oversized uploads, and remove metadata in an image editor before publishing the phone photo.

  • Confirm image dimensions match the target layout.
  • Review metadata hints before sharing personal or field photos.
  • Use a removal workflow if metadata should not be published.

Recommended workflow

  1. Choose the image file and review the displayed file information.
  2. Check dimensions and size against your publishing requirements.
  3. Look for metadata warnings before sharing personal photos.
  4. Use a dedicated metadata removal tool if you need to strip EXIF data.

Quality checks before using the result

  • Check dimensions, file type, and file size before uploading images into a website, form, or support ticket.
  • Look for metadata fields that could reveal device, capture time, editing history, or location.
  • Use a separate metadata removal tool when the goal is to strip EXIF rather than inspect it.

Questions about this tool

Does it remove GPS data?

No. It only displays metadata hints. Use an image editor or metadata stripper to remove private fields.

Why are HEIC dimensions missing?

Some browsers cannot decode HEIC images even when the file container can be inspected.

Can metadata reveal private information?

Yes. Photos may include time, device, location, and editing details depending on how they were created.
