See everything stored in your photos and videos. Photo Metadata Viewer shows every field in a file, from camera settings to location and dates, in the app or from the Share button in Photos. SEE EVERY DETAIL • Tap any photo or video to see every detail stored in its file. • Tiles sum up the date, camera, exposure, file, and colors, with every metadata group listed below them. • See on a map where a photo was taken and, when the file records it, which way the camera faced. • Swipe left or right to move to the next item. FIND A FIELD • Tap the magnifying glass and type part of a field's name or part of its value. Search covers every group, from camera settings to GPS. • Touch and hold a value to copy it. IN THE PHOTOS APP View All Metadata appears under the Share button in Photos, so you don't have to open this app. It works on up to 20 photos at a time, or one video. GOOD TO KNOW • This app only shows metadata. It doesn't change or remove anything. PRIVACY Your photos are never uploaded or copied from this app to any server or cloud. Maps and place names come from Apple Maps, which receives a photo's coordinates. Usage and crash data never include your photos, file names, or metadata values, and you can turn them off in Settings. No account needed. Need more? Metadata Pro is a separate paid app from the same developer. It does what this app does, and also edits fields and changes dates and places.

Photo Metadata Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Metadata Viewer has 591 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Image Info's written reviews are positive against 47% of Photo Metadata Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Image Info ships an update every 6 months, Photo Metadata Viewer every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
