ChronoVerify

EXIF and XMP metadata viewer

Read the EXIF and XMP metadata written in a photo: capture time, device, GPS, and software tags. It shows what is written in the file, not whether it is true.

What this does and does not tell you

This shows the EXIF and XMP metadata written in a photo: capture time, device make and model, GPS, and software tags. Metadata can be edited, stripped, or simply wrong, so it is evidence to corroborate, not proof. A value being present does not mean it is true, and absent metadata is common for screenshots and images re-saved by social platforms. Any GPS location is shown as written and is not independently verified.

Common questions

Can I trust the capture time and GPS?

Treat them as evidence to corroborate, not proof. EXIF and XMP fields can be edited or removed. ChronoVerify shows what is written and checks it for internal consistency rather than asserting it is true.

Why does my photo have no metadata?

Many platforms strip metadata when an image is uploaded or re-saved, and screenshots carry almost none. Absent metadata is normal and is not evidence that an image is fake.

Is this a deepfake or AI detector?

No. It reads metadata only. For a full verdict that also validates C2PA Content Credentials and runs pixel forensics, use the free verifier; it is still provenance-first, not an AI-or-real classifier.

Metadata is one signal, and it can be edited. ChronoVerify cross-checks it against C2PA provenance and pixel forensics and returns one verdict. Try the full verifier below, or wire it into your pipeline.
