// How it works

Three steps. Zero uploads.

01
Drop
Drag any file onto the page. Images show full EXIF/IPTC/XMP data. All files show basic metadata. It stays on your device.
02
View
fwip reads the file header and extracts all available metadata in your browser.
03
Copy
Copy any field or export the full metadata report. Nothing was ever uploaded.
// Why this is different

Your file never leaves your machine.

Most online metadata viewers upload your file to a server, read the metadata there, and display the results. Your file passes through systems you don't control.

fwip works differently. The metadata reader runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read from your device, processed on your CPU, and the result is saved back to your device. No server is involved. We literally cannot see your file.

No server processing

Everything runs on your device using WebAssembly. Your file never touches a network.

No account required

Drop a file. Get a result. No sign-up, no email, no password.

No subscription

Free in the browser. $99 once for the offline bundle. That's it. Forever.

Works offline

The desktop version works with no internet connection at all.

// Questions

Frequently asked.

How do I view file metadata without uploading?▾
Drop any file into fwip. It reads EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and general file metadata entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
What metadata does fwip show?▾
GPS coordinates, camera make/model, lens, exposure settings, timestamps, dimensions, color space, software used, and more. It reads all standard EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tags.
