ExifEx is a small utility tool to extract EXIF metadata from images. It is written in Python and Flask and uses the Pillow library to read the images and retrieve the metadata.
Example images taken from this repository.
- 🏞️ Extract EXIF metadata from images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, WebP, and more comming soon!)
- 🕵️♀️ Display the metadata and GPS coordinates in a human-readable format
- 🌍 Generate a Google Maps link to the location where the image was taken (if available)
- 🗂️ Supports multiple images at once
- 📁 No data is stored on the server
- 🔒 Secure and privacy-friendly
