View all metadata inside a HEIC photo
See what a HEIC photo says about itself: camera, dates, location, XMP, colour profile and container details. The copy button leaves out GPS, serial numbers and owner names.

How to use it
- Drop a HEIC file onto the page.
- Browse the sections: EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC summary, dates and container information.
- Use the copy button for a version without sensitive fields.
- If there are coordinates, open the map only if you choose to. It is a button, not automatic.
What it keeps
- The file is read only and never changed.
- Nothing is sent anywhere while you read.
What it removes or changes
- The copy button omits GPS, serial numbers and owner names on purpose. Use it when pasting into a forum or support request.
- Nothing in the file changes.
Limits
- The map link goes to OpenStreetMap, which is an external site. The page explains this, and coordinates are not sent unless you press the button.
- It shows what is in the file. It cannot confirm that dates or locations are truthful.
- To remove what you see, use the metadata or GPS removal tools.
Compatibility
Useful before sharing a photo, when checking why an app sorts photos wrongly, or when a support person asks for camera details. EXIF is a standard, so what you see matches what editors and other viewers read.
Privacy
Reading happens in your browser. The file is not uploaded. The only external request is the optional map link that you trigger yourself, which opens OpenStreetMap in a new page.
Metadata viewer, EXIF/GPS viewer or JSON export
This page gives the broad picture, including XMP and ICC. The EXIF and GPS viewer focuses on camera, lens and exposure with privacy alerts. The JSON export is for when you want the same data in a file you can process. Pick the viewer for reading, and the JSON tool for automation or records.
Troubleshooting
There is no GPS section.
The photo was taken with location off, or the data was stripped by an app or messaging service.
Dates differ between fields.
Capture, creation and modification are separate fields. Editing or exporting can change the later ones.
The copy button left out fields I wanted.
That is deliberate for privacy. Read the on-screen values directly if you need them.
Frequently asked questions
Does opening the map reveal my location?
Only to the extent that you click the link, which opens OpenStreetMap with the coordinates. Nothing is sent automatically.
What does the copy button exclude?
GPS, serial numbers and owner names.
Can I edit metadata here?
No. Use the remove, GPS or date tools.
