View the metadata inside a HEIC photo

HEIC is the format iPhones save by default, and most EXIF viewers choke on it. MetaMarshal detects HEIC by its actual bytes — not just the file extension — so a photo shared from a newer iPhone, AirDrop or a chat app is recognised even when it arrives with no extension at all. It's decoded locally so you can read every field without installing anything.

🔒 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 .heic or .heif file above; it's identified by content, so renamed or extension-less files still work.
2
MetaMarshal converts the image locally for preview and lays out the full metadata — GPS, capture time, lens, exposure and Apple-specific tags.
3
Inspect device and Live Photo details, the embedded thumbnail, and any C2PA or watermark signals surfaced by the byte-level scan.
4
If you plan to share it, export a clean JPEG or HEIC with the fields you don't want removed.

Frequently asked questions

No. MetaMarshal reads HEIC directly in the browser. It converts a copy locally only for preview and optional export — the metadata is parsed from the original file as-is.
