How to View Media Metadata

  1. 1

    Select your file

    Drag and drop an image, video, or audio file onto the upload area. You can also click to browse and select a file from your device. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, MP4, WebM, MKV, MOV, MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and AAC.
  2. 2

    Review extracted metadata

    The tool instantly parses your file and displays all available metadata organized into clear sections: general info, image details, camera settings, GPS location, date and time stamps, and creator information.
  3. 3

    Explore GPS and camera data

    If your photo contains location data, view the exact latitude and longitude coordinates and open the location directly in Google Maps. Camera details include make, model, lens, exposure, aperture, ISO, focal length, and flash status.
  4. 4

    Copy or use the results

    Use the Copy All button to export the complete metadata to your clipboard. Paste the results into a document, spreadsheet, or report for further analysis or record-keeping.

Who Uses Media Metadata Tools?

1

Photographers and Creatives

Review camera settings, lens data, and exposure values from your shots. Compare EXIF data across photos to understand which settings produced the best results and refine your technique over time.
2

Privacy and Security Audits

Check images before sharing them online to ensure they do not contain sensitive GPS coordinates, device identifiers, or personal information embedded in the EXIF data. Pair with an EXIF remover to strip metadata before publishing.
3

Digital Forensics and Investigations

Verify the authenticity of photos and videos by examining timestamps, device information, GPS coordinates, and software modification history. Metadata analysis is a standard step in digital evidence review.
4

Web Developers and Content Managers

Inspect image dimensions, color profiles, and file formats before optimizing assets for the web. Confirm orientation flags and resolution to prevent layout issues on different devices and screen sizes.

Why use our Media Info Viewer?

Our Media Info Viewer instantly reveals all the technical details and hidden metadata from your images, videos, and audio files. Extract EXIF data including GPS coordinates (where the photo was taken), camera make and model, lens information, exposure settings, and the exact date and time the media was created. For images, you can see dimensions, orientation, color profile, and full camera settings like ISO, aperture, and focal length. For videos, view resolution, codec, frame rate, and duration. Audio files show codec, sample rate, and channel information. All processing happens locally in your browser - your files are never uploaded anywhere. This ensures complete privacy for sensitive content while providing fast, instant results. Perfect for photographers, developers, forensic analysts, and content creators.

The Media Info Viewer is a free, browser-based tool that extracts and displays all embedded metadata from your image, video, and audio files. Whether you need to check EXIF data from a JPEG photograph, inspect the codec and frame rate of an MP4 video, or read the sample rate of a WAV audio file, this tool handles it all in one place. Every file is processed entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to any server.

For photographers, the tool reveals the full range of camera settings stored in EXIF data: aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, focal length, flash status, white balance, metering mode, and lens model. GPS coordinates are displayed with a direct link to Google Maps, making it easy to verify where a photo was taken. If you need to strip this data before sharing, use our EXIF Remover to clean files in seconds. For further image work, the Image Resizer and Image Compressor help optimize files for the web.

Video and audio metadata inspection is equally thorough. The viewer shows resolution, codec type, frame rate, duration, aspect ratio, and bit depth for video files, and codec, sample rate, and channel layout for audio. This makes it a practical companion to our Video Metadata Extractor and Audio Metadata Extractor for specialized workflows. Developers working with media pipelines, content managers preparing assets for publication, and forensic analysts verifying file authenticity all benefit from having a fast, private metadata viewer available at no cost.

How It Compares

Dedicated desktop applications like MediaInfo and ExifTool offer deep metadata inspection, but they require installation and command-line knowledge. Online alternatives often upload your files to remote servers, raising privacy concerns for sensitive content. The FindUtils Media Info Viewer works entirely in your browser with zero uploads, combining the convenience of a web tool with the privacy of a local application.

Compared to built-in OS file inspectors (right-click Properties on Windows or Get Info on macOS), this tool surfaces far more detail, especially for EXIF camera data and GPS coordinates. It also supports a wider range of formats in a single interface, covering images, video, and audio without switching between different utilities.

Tips for Working with Media Metadata

1
Photos taken with smartphones typically contain the richest EXIF data, including GPS location, device model, and full camera settings.
2
Screenshots and images downloaded from the web usually have their EXIF data stripped, so missing metadata is normal for those files.
3
Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram automatically remove EXIF data from uploaded photos for privacy.
4
HEIC files from iPhones contain detailed metadata; convert to JPEG if you need broader compatibility while preserving EXIF data.
5
Always check metadata before sharing sensitive photos publicly, as GPS coordinates can reveal your exact home or workplace location.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What information can I see about my media files?

For images: dimensions, EXIF data (GPS location, camera make/model, lens, exposure, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash, date taken), color profile, and orientation. For videos: resolution, codec, frame rate, duration, and aspect ratio. For audio: codec, sample rate, and channels.
2

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No, all analysis happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.
3

What file formats are supported?

Images: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF. Videos: MP4, WebM, MKV, MOV. Audio: MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC.
4

Can I see where a photo was taken?

Yes! If the photo contains GPS data (location was enabled when the photo was taken), you'll see the exact coordinates and can open the location directly in Google Maps.
5

Why can't I see GPS or camera data for some files?

EXIF data depends on how the file was created. Photos from smartphones usually contain rich metadata, while screenshots or images from the web often have EXIF data stripped for privacy.
