How to View Media Metadata

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, and files above 500 MB are refused before parsing starts.
Review extracted metadata

The tool parses your file and lays the results out in sections: general info, image details, camera settings, GPS location, dates and creator info for a photo, and container, codec, frame rate, bitrate, resolution, sample rate and channels for a video or audio file.
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.
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?

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.

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.

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.

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 reads the technical details stored inside an image, video or audio file. Photos are parsed with the exifr library, which returns dimensions, orientation, color profile and the full EXIF block: camera make and model, lens, exposure, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash, the date the shot was taken, and GPS coordinates when the camera recorded them. Video and audio files are read with the Mediabunny library, which reports the container, the video and audio codecs, frame rate, bitrate, resolution and duration, plus the sample rate and channel count of the audio track. Files up to 500 MB are accepted, the file is parsed in your browser, and the tool code uploads nothing. Useful for photographers, developers, forensic analysts and content creators.

The Media Info Viewer is a browser-based tool that reads the metadata stored inside an image, video or audio file. Whether you need the EXIF block from a JPEG photograph, the codec and frame rate of an MP4 video, or the sample rate of a WAV file, it handles all three in one place. Files up to 500 MB are parsed in your browser, and 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 files are read with the Mediabunny library, which returns the container, the video and audio codec, frame rate, bitrate, resolution and duration, plus the sample rate and channel count of the audio track. That makes this 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 a fast, private metadata viewer.

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

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What information can I see about my media files?

For images: dimensions, orientation, color profile and the EXIF block (GPS location, camera make and model, lens, exposure, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash, date taken). For video: container, codec, resolution, frame rate, bitrate and duration. For audio: codec, sample rate, channels and duration.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No, not the file. It is parsed in your browser and the tool code sends no part of it to a server. The page itself loads analytics and ad scripts, as most websites do, so a network monitor shows requests from those. They are separate from the tool code.

What file formats are supported?

Images: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF. Video: MP4, WebM, MKV, MOV. Audio: MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC. Any of them up to 500 MB; a larger file is refused before parsing starts.

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.

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.

Can I export the metadata?

Yes, you can copy all metadata to your clipboard using the 'Copy All' button, then paste it wherever you need.

Does the Media Info Viewer require a signup or impose usage limits?

No. There is no signup, no account and no usage limit. You can inspect as many files as you like, one at a time, as often as you need. The parsing happens in your browser, so there is no server cost behind the page to pass on.

Does this tool work with RAW camera files?

Not reliably. The viewer covers the common formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF), while RAW formats such as CR2, NEF and ARW have limited browser support and may return little or nothing. For RAW files, use a desktop tool such as ExifTool, and keep this viewer for the standard formats.

Can I check metadata on my phone?

Yes. The tool works in any modern mobile browser. Open the page, tap to select a file from your camera roll or file manager, and the metadata appears on screen. A photo resolves at once; a large video takes longer on a phone than on a desktop.

What is EXIF data and why does it matter?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing technical metadata inside image files. It records camera settings, timestamps, GPS location, and device information at the moment a photo is taken. This data is useful for organizing photos, verifying authenticity, improving photography skills, and identifying privacy risks before sharing images online.
