Media Inspector
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every file, image, or video contains extensive metadata. Camera settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, device info, and more. Media Inspector puts that data at your fingertips. Whether you're a photographer checking camera settings, a privacy-conscious user stripping location data before sharing, or cinematographer that needs to see extensive details on your video file formats - Media Inspector has you covered. Features - View detailed EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata from your photos (RAW, JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF & more!) - Extract extensive audio and video track information from all video file formats (MP4, MPEG, MKV, AVI, MP5 & more!) - See exactly where a photo was taken on an interactive map - Edit dates, locations, and camera info - Export metadata as text, JSON, or XML - Batch inspect multiple files at once - Customize which fields you see - Apply templated metadata with one tap Media Inspector is completely free to use for individual file viewing and EXIF editing. There is a one-time pro upgrade purchase which unlocks batch editing, templates, and full customization. Privacy is not a feature. It's the foundation. Your files never leave your device. No accounts to create. No cloud sync. No analytics tracking what you inspect. This is a tool, not a service, by design. I made Media Inspector because the existing options were either bloated, ugly, or way too complicated. I wanted something fast, clean, and focused. If you've been looking for the same thing, I think you'll like it here. Thanks for supporting indie software. Terms: https://mediainspector.app/terms Privacy: https://mediainspector.app/privacy
