Overview

The Batch EXIF Viewer allows you to inspect and analyze EXIF metadata from up to 100 images simultaneously. Upload your JPEG, JPG, TIFF, WEBP, HEIF, or AVIF files to instantly extract camera settings, GPS coordinates, capture dates, and technical exposure details in a structured JSON format.

When to Use

  • •When you need to verify camera settings and exposure details across a large batch of photos.
  • •When you want to check or audit GPS location coordinates and timestamps embedded in multiple image files.
  • •When you need to extract and review metadata from modern image formats like HEIF, AVIF, and WEBP without opening them individually.

How It Works

  • •Upload up to 100 image files in supported formats such as JPEG, TIFF, WEBP, HEIF, or AVIF.
  • •Toggle the metadata categories you want to extract, including camera info, GPS data, date/time, and technical settings.
  • •Process the images to parse the metadata and view the structured JSON output containing the details for each file.

Use Cases

Photographers auditing exposure settings like ISO, aperture, and shutter speed across a series of test shots.
Real estate agents verifying GPS location tags and capture dates on property listing photos.
Digital archivists extracting metadata from HEIF and AVIF images to catalog digital assets.

Examples

1. Auditing Camera Settings for a Photoshoot

Professional Photographer
Background
A photographer took dozens of landscape photos using different lenses and needs to compare the aperture, ISO, and lens model used for each shot.
Problem
Opening each image individually in editing software to check metadata is slow and inefficient.
How to Use
Upload 45 JPEG images, check 'Include Camera Info' and 'Include Technical Data', and run the viewer.
Example Config
includeCamera: true, includeTechnical: true, useOriginalNames: true
Outcome
A structured JSON list showing the camera model, lens, ISO, and aperture for all 45 images in one view.

2. Verifying GPS Coordinates for Field Surveys

Environmental Researcher
Background
A researcher collected HEIF images of plant species during a field survey and needs to verify the exact GPS coordinates where each photo was taken.
Problem
Manually extracting latitude and longitude from dozens of HEIF files is tedious.
How to Use
Upload 30 HEIF files, enable 'Include GPS Data', and disable other unnecessary metadata categories.
Example Config
includeGPS: true, includeCamera: false, includeDateTime: false, includeTechnical: false, includeOther: false
Outcome
A clean JSON output containing only the filenames and their corresponding GPS coordinates and altitudes.
