Image Metadata Extractor - EXIF, GPS, Camera Data

Extract every hidden detail from any image — camera, GPS, timestamps, copyright — in seconds.

Point this actor at any image URL and get back a structured record of everything embedded in the file: the exact camera and lens, when and where the photo was taken, every exposure setting, copyright and author tags, orientation, and color space. Works in bulk across hundreds of URLs in a single run.

What you get

• Camera & lens — make, model, firmware, lens model
• GPS coordinates — latitude, longitude, altitude, timestamp
• Date taken — original, digitized and last-modified timestamps
• Exposure settings — ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, flash, metering
• Copyright & authorship — artist, copyright, description, IPTC rights
• Orientation & color — EXIF orientation tag, color space
• Bulk processing — hundreds of images per run, parallel and safe
• All major formats — JPEG, HEIF/HEIC, TIFF, PNG, BMP, WEBP, AVIF, RAW (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG)
