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.Add to Chrome

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 it once, not on every form

A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: a phone portrait against a form that takes only a square JPEG under 240 KB.

  }'

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.
