Can this tool read GPS location tags?

Yes. If the photo was taken with location services enabled, it displays exact coordinates and altitude.

Is my photo sent to a server to extract metadata?

No. The binary EXIF parser runs entirely within your browser's ArrayBuffer reader.

Can I copy GPS coordinates directly into Google Maps?

Yes. The tool formats latitude and longitude into clickable Google Maps links and decimal coordinate strings.

What is the difference between EXIF and IPTC metadata?

EXIF records technical camera settings (aperture, shutter, ISO, lens). IPTC records editorial information (photographer name, copyright notice, caption, keywords).
