EXIF Viewer — Image Metadata, GPS, AI Image Detector & C2PA

About

View EXIF data of any image on any website — in one right-click. EXIF Viewer is a fast, modern image metadata viewer that goes further than classic metadata tools: full photo metadata, GPS location on a map, C2PA Content Credentials verification and an honest AI image detector — 100% local, zero uploads.

🔍 COMPLETE IMAGE METADATA
Right-click any photo → "View EXIF / metadata". Instantly see camera make and model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, capture date, software, artist and copyright — plus full IPTC, XMP and ICC color profile data. A clean panel that follows your light/dark theme. Works with the common image formats your browser can display.

📍 GPS LOCATION — WHERE WAS THIS PHOTO TAKEN?
If a picture contains GPS data, see the coordinates in decimal and DMS formats, with altitude and direction, and open the exact photo location in Google Maps or OpenStreetMap in one click. Perfect for photographers, OSINT research and journalists verifying where a photo was taken.

✅ C2PA CHECKER — VERIFY CONTENT CREDENTIALS
A full c2pa checker built in: it verifies C2PA Content Credentials (the "CR" mark) right in your browser using the official Content Authenticity Initiative library. See who signed the image, when, with which app, the edit history and ingredients — and whether the signature is valid, from a trusted issuer, or tampered with.

🤖 AI IMAGE DETECTOR (HONEST)
Is this image AI generated? This AI image checker reads what the file itself declares: C2PA assertions (trainedAlgorithmicMedia), Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI / InvokeAI generation chunks, Midjourney / DALL·E / Firefly creator tags. You get "Labeled as AI-generated" or "Likely AI-generated" with the exact evidence — never a fake certainty score.

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST — 100% LOCAL
• Zero network requests — all metadata parsing and C2PA verification happen on your device
• No telemetry, no accounts, no uploads — drag & drop local files into the popup
• Minimal permissions: no access to your browsing, only the image you click
• Lightweight: ~8 MB including the C2PA verifier (the official alternative ships 95 MB)

⚡ HOW IT WORKS
1. Right-click any image → "View EXIF / metadata"
2. The panel opens right on the page: camera data, photo metadata, GPS, Content Credentials, AI evidence
3. For a local file, drop it into the popup — nothing is uploaded anywhere
4. Copy any field, or copy everything as JSON

🆚 ALTERNATIVE TO ONLINE EXIF VIEWERS
Tools like Jeffrey's Exif Viewer, metadata2go, exif.tools or Pic2Map make you download the image and upload it to their server. This exif reader shows the same data in place — no upload, no account, no waiting. Looking for an ExifTool GUI in your browser? This is the closest one-click equivalent.

🎯 WHO IT'S FOR
• Photographers — check the camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) behind any shot
• OSINT & fact-checkers — verify image provenance, geotags and edit history before trusting a viral photo
• Journalists — a content credentials check plus AI evidence in one panel
• Privacy-conscious users — see exactly which image metadata a website leaks about you
• Developers & designers — inspect ICC profiles, XMP history, IPTC captions

USE CASES
View exif data without uploads · check photo metadata · find photo GPS location · see where a photo was taken · verify content credentials · detect AI generated images · inspect ICC color profiles · read IPTC captions · audit what metadata your own photos share

🔐 PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED
• contextMenus — the right-click "View EXIF / metadata" item
• activeTab + scripting — open the panel only after you click the menu; no persistent access to any site
• storage — your settings and a usage counter
• offscreen — hosts the bundled C2PA WASM verifier
No host permissions, no <all_urls>, no remote code. Every library is bundled inside the extension and your images never leave the browser.

No other exif viewer combines image metadata, GPS location, a c2pa checker and an AI image detector — all local, all without a paywall.
