EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata written by cameras and phones: device make and model, date and time, exposure settings, focal length, and sometimes GPS location.

XMP is an Adobe-based standard for metadata. Software like Photoshop and Lightroom store keywords, ratings, and edit information in XMP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Get Image Info?

Get Image Info is a free suite of three online tools: Image Analyzer (analyzes metadata, files deleted after processing), Image Compressor (reduces file size in your browser), and Image Resizer (changes dimensions in your browser).

Q: How do I use the analyzer?

Open the analyzer page, drag and drop an image or click to choose a file. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, GIF, BMP, SVG. Results appear below with file info and metadata grouped by type.

Q: Do you store my images?

No. We do not store, save, or retain your images. For the analyzer, files are uploaded only for metadata extraction and deleted immediately. Compressor and resizer processing runs in your browser and files are never uploaded.

Q: Which image formats are supported?

We support JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, and SVG. Metadata availability depends on the format and how the file was created.

Q: Why don't I see any EXIF data?

EXIF may be missing if the format doesn't support it, if it was stripped by an app or website (e.g. social media), or if the file was created by software that doesn't write EXIF. Screenshots often have no camera EXIF.

Q: What is IPTC?

IPTC is used for copyright, keywords, captions, and creator information, especially in press and stock photography.

Using the tool

What is Get Image Info? Get Image Info is a free suite of three online tools: (1) Image Analyzer - analyzes and displays image metadata and file properties (EXIF, XMP, IPTC, ICC, dimensions, etc.). Files are uploaded to our server and immediately deleted after analysis. (2) Image Compressor - reduces file sizes while maintaining quality. Runs entirely in your browser - files are never uploaded. (3) Image Resizer - changes image dimensions. Runs entirely in your browser - files are never uploaded.

How do I use the analyzer? Open the analyzer page, and either drag and drop an image onto the drop zone or click the drop zone to choose a file from your device. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, GIF, BMP, SVG, and others. Results appear below with file info and metadata grouped by type.

How do I use the compressor? Open the compressor page, drag and drop or select an image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF). Adjust the quality slider, then click "Compress Image". The compression happens in your browser - your file is never uploaded. Download the compressed image when done.

How do I use the resizer? Open the resizer page, drag and drop or select an image (JPEG, PNG, or WebP). Enter your desired width and height. You can lock the aspect ratio to maintain proportions. Click "Resize Image" - resizing happens in your browser - your file is never uploaded. Download the resized image when done.

Does it work on mobile? Yes. You can use the tool on phones and tablets. Use “click to browse” to pick a file from your device. Support depends on your browser and operating system; most modern mobile browsers allow file selection for images.

What browsers are supported? The tool works in modern browsers that support the File API and the libraries we use to read metadata. We recommend the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. If file selection or drag-and-drop works in your browser, the analyzer should work.

Privacy and security

Are my images uploaded? It depends on the tool. Analyzer: yes, the file is uploaded for metadata extraction and then immediately deleted. Compressor and resizer: no, these run entirely in your browser and files are never uploaded.

Do you store my images? No. We do not store, save, or retain your images. Analyzer uploads are deleted immediately after processing; compressor and resizer files do not leave your device.

Is my data private? We design the tools to minimize data handling. The analyzer processes files briefly and deletes them immediately; compressor and resizer are local to your browser. We do not build a database of uploaded images. See our Privacy Policy for details.

What does “runs in your browser” mean? Browser-side processing means your image stays on your device while JavaScript performs compression or resizing locally. Only analyzer operations require temporary server-side processing.

How long are analyzer uploads kept? Analyzer files are deleted immediately after metadata extraction completes. We do not keep a photo library or archive of uploaded files.

Formats and metadata

Which image formats are supported? We support common image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC (and HEIF), AVIF, BMP, TIFF, and SVG. The exact metadata available depends on the format and how the file was created or edited.

Why don’t I see any EXIF data? EXIF may be missing if the image was saved in a format that doesn’t support it (e.g. some PNG or GIF exports), if it was stripped by an app or website (e.g. social media, messaging), or if the file was created by software that doesn’t write EXIF. Screenshots and many graphics also have no camera EXIF.

Why do some images have no metadata? Metadata can be removed for privacy (e.g. GPS), to reduce file size, or by platforms that strip it on upload. Some formats or creation methods don’t include metadata at all. Our tool shows whatever is present in the file.

Can I remove metadata from images with this tool? No. Get Image Info only reads and displays metadata. It does not edit or remove data from files. To strip metadata you would need image editing software or a dedicated metadata-removal tool.

What you can see

What is EXIF? EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata written by cameras and phones. It usually includes device make and model, date and time, exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), focal length, and sometimes GPS location. Our tool lists all EXIF and TIFF tags found in the image.

What is XMP? XMP is an Adobe-based standard for metadata. Software like Photoshop and Lightroom often store keywords, ratings, and edit information in XMP. When embedded in the image, we display it in the XMP section.

What is IPTC? IPTC is commonly used for copyright, keywords, captions, and creator information, especially in press and stock photography. If your image contains IPTC data, we show it in the IPTC section.

Can you see GPS location in my photos? If the image contains GPS coordinates in its EXIF or other metadata, our tool will display them. Many phones and cameras embed location when it is enabled. If you don’t see GPS, it was either never recorded or was removed by an app or website.

What are dimensions and aspect ratio? Dimensions are the width and height of the image in pixels. Aspect ratio is the ratio of width to height (e.g. 16:9 or 4:3). We show both in the File & image section so you can verify size and proportions.

Other

Is this free? Yes. Get Image Info is free to use. We may show ads to support the service.

Why would I need to check image metadata? People check metadata to verify dimensions and format before uploading, to see what camera or exposure data is embedded, to confirm copyright or contact info is present, to check if GPS or other sensitive data is included before sharing, and to debug missing EXIF after editing or uploading.
