Browser-Based ExifTool 13.42 Online
Original ExifTool 13.42 output in the browser via WebAssembly, separate from the lighter metadata viewer on the homepage.
Your file is not uploaded. This page runs the real ExifTool 13.42 inside your browser using WebAssembly, and the file stays on your device during analysis. Install exif.tools as an app or add it to your Home Screen to keep both viewers and the ExifTool runtime available offline after the first load.

Why This Page Exists
The homepage on exif.tools is optimized for fast, readable metadata inspection using browser-native parsers. This page is for people who want the original ExifTool data model, original ExifTool output format, and a browser-based ExifTool 13.42 experience.
Default flags are tuned for depth rather than brevity: -a -u -G1 -s -n. That means duplicate tags, unknown tags, group names, raw tag names, and numeric values are included by default. Use this page when you specifically want ExifTool online rather than the simplified metadata viewer.
Flags
Quick ExifTool flag reference from the official application documentation. The default flags on this page are tuned for deep raw output rather than simplified summaries.

Credits
ExifTool itself is created and maintained by Phil Harvey. This page exists because ExifTool is the original metadata reference point and the output here is intended to stay close to that tool rather than a simplified browser summary.
Browser execution on this page is powered by the WebAssembly package 6over3/exiftool, which packages ExifTool for browser and Node use, and 6over3/zeroperl-ts, which provides the Perl runtime used to run ExifTool in WebAssembly.
