IPTC metadata viewer

Reads the IPTC-IIM metadata block — caption, byline, credit, keywords — a format widely used in press and stock photography.

Why it exists

IPTC predates EXIF and XMP and is still how many news and stock-photo workflows attach captions and credit lines to images.

How to use it

Drop a JPEG onto the page. Any IPTC fields found are shown in a table.

Good to know

Read-only, and JPEG only. Extended (non-standard length) IPTC fields aren't parsed.
