● METADATA

What travels
with this file?

You see the photo. The file may carry more — where it was taken, when, and what device took it.

No uploads · Browser-local only · No files sent anywhere

🔒

Your file never uploads to BANDDIT. Metadata analysis runs in your browser.

Location lookup is optional. If you choose it, only the GPS coordinates are sent to OpenStreetMap/Nominatim to estimate the place.

On mobile, use the Camera option or upload directly from your camera folder. Gallery or Files pickers may strip location data before it reaches this tool.
