IPTC / XMP Viewer
Read the IPTC and XMP blocks of an image separately — creator, rights, keywords, city, headline and the rest.

How to use it
- 01
Drop an image.
- 02
Read the IPTC and XMP tables side by side.
- 03
Copy the JSON if you need it.
Limitations
- ! Only blocks present in the file are shown; many cameras write no IPTC at all.
- ! XMP structures with nested arrays are flattened for display.
- ! This tool reads the blocks themselves, so field names stay exactly as the file stores them (Byline, CopyrightNotice, …).
FAQ
What is the difference between EXIF, IPTC and XMP?
EXIF is camera data, IPTC is editorial metadata and XMP is a newer XML-based container that can hold both.
Why are the two tables separate?
They are different blocks in the file. Merging them loses the distinction, and with it fields whose names collide.
Is this useful for stock photography?
Yes, rights and creator fields matter for attribution and licensing.
