Photo Check

See what metadata a photo file carries, and open reverse image searches to find where else a picture appears.

Photos are read in your browser and are never uploaded. Reverse-search links open only when you click them, and send that search engine the image address you entered.

1. See a photo’s metadata

Choose a photo from your device. It is read in your browser and never uploaded.

2. Search for where else a picture appears

Have a file instead?

Open an engine and upload the file there. We do not upload it for you.

Metadata is a clue, not proof

Photo metadata can be edited, copied from another file or removed. Social networks and messaging apps usually strip it, so a missing date or location says nothing about a photo, and present metadata does not prove when or where a picture was taken.

Reverse image search

Matches show where an image has appeared before, which can reveal an older original. No matches does not mean an image is new.

Privacy tip

Phone photos often include GPS location. Use the metadata-free copy before sharing a photo publicly.
