Create a Photo Inventory with a CSV Export
Read supported metadata from a batch of images and download one CSV. Each queued file gets a row with its filename and status. Columns combine the fields available across the batch, so one photo can have a camera model while another has only a date.
Try a tested reference inventory
The photo-inventory CSV guide includes three generated JPEGs, a deliberately unreadable input, and the exact reference export. It demonstrates OK, No metadata, and Error rows, blank versus zero values, recorded dates, Unicode text, and spreadsheet import settings.
What the columns mean
Filename and Status come first, followed by available camera, exposure, date, location, image, and software fields. Remaining supported fields are ordered by name. A blank cell means that this export has no value for the field and row. It is not zero or proof that a field was never recorded. OK means at least one exportable field, not that every metadata section was decoded.
The exporter reads supported EXIF/TIFF, IPTC, XMP, and JFIF fields. It omits ICC, MakerNote, UserComment, thumbnail offsets/lengths, binary values, and nested objects. Arrays are joined for readability. Field counts reflect values actually included in the CSV. This is an inventory rather than a lossless metadata backup.
Dates, units, and spreadsheet import
Recorded EXIF dates stay as clock text without conversion through your browser's timezone. A missing timezone is not replaced with UTC. Exposure, aperture, and focal length can have human-readable units; use separate working columns for calculations.
CSV uses UTF-8 with a byte-order mark, comma delimiters, and quoted commas, quotes, and newlines. Formula-like text is prefixed with an apostrophe, which a raw CSV reader will see; finite numeric measurements such as negative coordinates remain numeric text. Review import encoding, delimiters, and column types. Import identifiers and exact date strings as text when their representation matters.
Batch and format limits
Select up to 200 JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or HEIC/HEIF files. Processing is sequential and available fields depend on the format and parser. WebP and RAW files are not currently supported by this batch tool. Large files and batches depend on your browser's available memory; the file-count limit is not a performance guarantee.
Readable files with no exportable metadata can still produce a status report. Mixed batches retain error rows and are partial results. An entirely failed batch has no downloadable completion. Inspect the source with another reader when needed.
Inspect one file or keep a private inventory
For one image, use the metadata viewer or single-file exporter. Read what EXIF contains for context on capture, editorial, and color fields. Exporting does not rewrite or clean the original images.
Selected files are processed locally without image uploads. The CSV can itself contain supported location, author, and serial-number fields from your photos; review those values before sharing the inventory.
