EXIF/XMP Reader
Upload an original image and inspect its retained EXIF, XMP, software, timestamp, copyright, location, and AI/generative-tool fields. The tool labels GPS, serial numbers, author contacts, prompts, and other sensitive fields; safe copy omits them by default, and full JSON export asks for confirmation.
Upload an image to read EXIF / XMP
How to use
- Use the most original image you can find; social-media copies often strip metadata.
- Search by field name, software name, platform name, or field value.
- Copy creates a safe summary; full export asks again if sensitive fields are present.
Fields shown
| AI / generation tools | Software, CreatorTool, DigitalSourceType, AISystemUsed, AIPromptInformation, and similar fields. |
|---|---|
| Sensitive fields | GPS, serial numbers, author contacts, UserComment, prompts, and embedded thumbnails are labeled by default. |
| Raw XMP | If the file carries an XMP packet, it is preserved as a collapsible raw blob for expert review. |
Scope & limits
- Metadata can be edited, forged, or stripped; a single field is not legal-grade proof.
- No EXIF/XMP does not mean an image is human-made; it only means this copy has no readable retained fields.
- Safe copy omits sensitive fields; confirm your use case before full export.
FAQ
- Why do some images have no EXIF?
- Many platforms remove EXIF/XMP during upload, compression, screenshots, or re-export. Empty fields only mean this copy kept no readable metadata.
- Does an AI tool in EXIF Software prove the source?
- It is a provenance clue, not a signed proof. Combine it with C2PA, PNG parameters, platform samples, and file provenance.
- Is my file uploaded?
- No. Parsing runs locally in your browser through WebAssembly.
