View the EXIF data inside any photo

Every photo carries a block of EXIF metadata your camera writes automatically: where it was taken, when, on what device, and with which settings. Most viewers make you upload the file to see it. MetaMarshal reads it on your device — GPS coordinates on a map, the exact capture time, camera and lens, full exposure settings, the embedded thumbnail, and even C2PA Content Credentials and invisible-watermark signals — and when you're ready, it strips whatever you don't want to share.

Processed on your device — nothing is uploaded unless you tap the optional AI estimate.
Nothing leaves your device to clean a photo — the only exception is the optional AI location estimate, which sends a downscaled copy off-device, and only after you tap to confirm.

How it works

1
Drop a photo above — JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF and RAW are read entirely in your browser.
2
Read the full metadata laid out in plain language: GPS on a map, capture time, camera, lens, exposure and Apple/maker-note fields.
3
Check the deeper signals — embedded thumbnail, C2PA Content Credentials and watermark indicators surfaced by the byte-level scan.
4
If you plan to share the photo, strip the fields you don't want and export a clean copy.

Frequently asked questions

No. The file is parsed entirely in your browser, so viewing its metadata sends nothing to a server. That's the point — you can inspect a sensitive photo without it ever leaving your device.
