- **Include EXIF Data** (checkbox): Extract EXIF metadata (camera settings, GPS, etc.)
- **Include IPTC Data** (checkbox): Extract IPTC metadata (copyright, keywords, etc.)
- **Include XMP Data** (checkbox): Extract XMP metadata (extended properties, etc.)
- **Include Technical Data** (checkbox): Include technical image information and statistics

## When to use

- Verify camera settings like shutter speed, ISO, and focal length from original photos.
- Check for copyright, creator information, or keywords embedded in professional image files.
- Audit image technical specifications such as color space, dimensions, and compression details.

## How it works

- Upload your image file (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, WEBP, HEIF, or AVIF) to the tool.
- Select the specific metadata categories you wish to extract, such as EXIF, IPTC, or XMP.
- Click the extract button to instantly view a comprehensive report of all embedded data.

## Use cases

- Photographers verifying camera settings for post-processing consistency.
- Digital asset managers checking copyright and licensing metadata.
- Web developers auditing image technical properties for optimization.

## Frequently asked questions

### What file formats are supported?

The tool supports JPEG, JPG, TIFF, PNG, WEBP, HEIF, and AVIF formats.

### Can I see GPS coordinates?

Yes, if the image contains GPS data within its EXIF metadata, it will be extracted and displayed.

### Is my image uploaded to a server?

The tool processes your file to extract metadata, but it does not store your images permanently.

### What is the difference between EXIF and IPTC?
