Image Metadata Viewer
Inspect image formats, dimensions, color modes, and embedded EXIF metadata from base64 image data.
Run tool
Inspect image files and read embedded technical properties directly online. When you supply a base64-encoded image string or upload an image payload, the tool decodes the content to examine format specifications and embedded metadata. The inspection reveals primary file properties including image format, color mode, pixel dimensions presented as width by height, frame count, animation flags, and whether a palette is present. When embedded EXIF tags exist, such as camera settings, orientation, date stamps, or lens parameters, the tool decodes available text entries and displays them as readable string values. If an image file lacks EXIF data, the tool still displays all standard structural properties. If the provided data cannot be decoded or parsed as a valid image format, the interface displays an error message detailing the issue. This utility helps developers, photographers, and graphic designers verify image attributes and review structural characteristics before publishing or processing assets.
Instructions
- Paste your base64-encoded image string into the Image Data field, or select an image file to inspect.
- Click the run button to decode and analyze the file.
- Review the reported dimensions, color mode, format, palette status, and frame count in the results panel.
- Check the EXIF section to view camera settings, capture timestamps, or orientation flags if present.
Examples
- Inspecting a base64-encoded JPEG photo reveals JPEG format, RGB color mode, dimensions of 4032 by 3024 pixels, a single frame, and EXIF tags including camera model and exposure time.
- Analyzing an animated GIF reveals GIF format, palette color mode, dimensions of 800 by 600 pixels, multiple frames, and animation marked as active.
FAQ
What happens if an image does not contain EXIF data?
The tool still extracts and displays core technical details like format, dimensions, color mode, and frame count.
Which image dimensions are shown first?
Dimensions are presented in standard width by height order.
What happens if invalid image data is entered?
If the input string cannot be decoded or opened as an image, an error message appears explaining why the inspection could not proceed.
How are non-text EXIF entries displayed?
Byte values within EXIF records are decoded as UTF-8 text where possible, and all reported metadata properties are presented as string values.
