Image Metadata Viewer

Image metadata is "data about data" – it's textual information embedded within an image file that describes the image itself. This data isn't usually visible when viewing the picture but contains valuable details about its origin, content, and characteristics.

Common types include:

• EXIF (Exchangeable image file format): Stores camera settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO), date/time taken, camera make/model, lens information, and often GPS coordinates.
• IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council): Contains descriptive information like captions, keywords, copyright notices, creator details, and headlines, commonly used by photographers and news agencies.
• XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform): An Adobe standard that can store data similar to EXIF and IPTC, plus editing history, ratings, labels, and custom information. It's designed to be more flexible and extensible.
• ICC (International Color Consortium) Profile: Defines the color space of the image, ensuring consistent color reproduction across different devices.
• File Properties: Basic information like filename, size, dimensions, and file type.

1. Upload an image file (JPG, TIFF, HEIC, PNG, WebP, etc.) using the uploader.
2. The tool will automatically attempt to extract all available metadata.
3. The image preview appears on the left, and the extracted metadata on the right.
4. Use the tabs (File, EXIF, IPTC, XMP, etc.) to browse different categories of metadata.
5. Use the filter bar to quickly find specific properties or values within the selected category.
6. Toggle "Hide empty values" to simplify the view within the selected category.
7. Switch between "Categorized" and "Raw" (JSON) views using the icons above the metadata area.
8. Use the "Export" buttons to download the metadata in JSON, CSV, or TXT format.
