EXIF metadata and GPS extraction tool for digital images. Pulls out device info, capture settings, timestamps, and GPS coordinates then gives you a direct Google Maps link to the location.
Useful for OSINT investigations, digital forensics, or just checking what data your phone embeds in every photo you take.
Digital cameras and phones store metadata inside image files using the EXIF standard. This includes the device model, date/time, camera settings, and sometimes GPS coordinates. Most people dont realize this data exists. Social media platforms strip it on upload, but images shared directly (email, messaging, file transfer) keep everything.
This tool reads that metadata and presents it in a readable format.
Single image:
python extractor.py photo.jpg
JSON output:
python extractor.py photo.jpg --json
Batch mode scan an entire folder:
python extractor.py photos/ --batch
