View Hidden Metadata in files

Yes! The standard version of Metadata Viewer is 100% free with no watermarks, no time limits and no restrictions on personal use. You can view metadata from unlimited files without paying anything.

A Pro version is available for business users who need advanced features like batch analysis reports, metadata comparison, scheduled exports and priority support.

No, absolutely not. Metadata Viewer is a read-only tool that never modifies your files in any way. It only reads and displays the hidden information without making any changes.

Your original files remain completely unchanged. This makes it safe to use on important documents, evidence files and any files where integrity must be preserved.

Yes! Metadata Viewer displays GPS coordinates embedded in photos and includes an interactive map feature. You can:

• View exact latitude and longitude coordinates
• See altitude and direction data
• Open the location in an interactive map
• Copy coordinates in various formats
• Export location data to reports

This is perfect for verifying where photos were taken organizing photo collections by location or auditing files for privacy concerns.

Yes. Metadata Viewer can export metadata to multiple formats:

• CSV: For spreadsheet analysis and database import
• JSON: For programmatic processing and APIs
• XML: For structured data exchange
• PDF: For professional documentation and reports

This is useful for compliance auditing, forensic documentation, research purposes and keeping records of file metadata.

Your data is completely safe. Metadata Viewer processes all files locally on your computer:

• No files are ever uploaded to any server
• No internet connection required after installation
• No cloud processing or external dependencies
• Your sensitive documents never leave your machine

This is by design, a file inspection tool that uploads your files would defeat the entire purpose of privacy auditing.

Yes. Metadata Viewer includes a comparison feature that lets you:

• Compare metadata between two files side-by-side
• Highlight differences in timestamps, authors or other properties
• Identify which fields are different, added or removed
• Export comparison reports for documentation

This is useful for verifying document versions, checking if files have been modified or comparing photos from the same session.

Use together: First use Viewer to inspect what metadata exists, then use Remover to clean files before sharing.

• Canon: CR2, CR3
• Nikon: NEF, NRW

Yes. Metadata Viewer is designed with forensic use cases in mind:

• Read-only operation: Never modifies original files

• Export capabilities: Generate reports for documentation
• Timestamp analysis: Verify creation and modification dates

For forensic applications, always maintain proper chain of custody and document your analysis process.
