Free EXIF viewer and metadata checker

See the camera, software and date fields stored in a photo, and whether it appears to carry Content Credentials. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Drop a JPG or PNG here, or click to choose a file.
The file never leaves your browser.
What it shows

What you get

Camera and software

Make, model, lens and the editing software recorded in the file, where present.

Dates

When the photo was taken and last modified, according to the file. These fields can be edited.

Content Credentials markers

Shows whether signed provenance data appears to be present. To verify it, use the C2PA checker.

Limits

  • Metadata is easy to remove or edit, and most social platforms strip it. Missing metadata proves nothing.
  • Metadata can show an image was made by editing software, but it cannot show whether an image is AI-generated.

    Read the fields

    Metadata appears in a table. Nothing is sent anywhere.

  3. 03

    Run the image through a Witness scan for an AI-generation likelihood.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is information a camera or phone stores inside a photo file, such as the device, settings and time. Editing software can add or change it.

Does this tool upload my photo?

No. The file is read in your browser and never sent to Witness.

Can EXIF tell me if an image is AI-generated?

Rarely. Some AI tools write software names or Content Credentials, but most images have neither. Use a detector for a likelihood.
