Image metadata

Size, format, colour, and the camera’s own notes: model, exposure, time, place.

More free conversions, where you upload. The Fylane extension does the same work inside any upload form, on its own free share every day.About the extension

How to image metadata

  1. Drop the image.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Read the facts on the page, or download the JSON.

What happens to your file

The file is read, not changed: its dimensions, format, colour space and density come from the image itself, and the EXIF block — camera make and model, lens, exposure, ISO, the time it was taken and, if the camera stored one, the GPS position — is parsed and listed.

Nothing is written back and nothing is stripped; use Remove EXIF for a clean copy.

Questions

Why does a photo from a website show almost nothing?

Most sites strip EXIF on upload. A photo straight from a phone or camera carries the most; a screenshot carries none.

Is the GPS position exact?

To a few metres, when it is there. That is why Remove EXIF exists.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "image.metadata",
    "options": {}
  }'

The same operation, image.metadata — Dimensions, colour space, and the common EXIF fields — camera, time, exposure, GPS. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
