🖼️ Image Metadata Analyzer Pro

A desktop GUI tool (built with Python + Tkinter) that reveals the hidden EXIF metadata embedded inside your image files — camera model, capture date/time, GPS location, software history, and more — plus a built-in privacy risk checker that flags sensitive data like embedded GPS coordinates.

✨ Features

• 📂 Open and preview JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, WEBP images
• 📷 View camera info (make, model, lens, aperture, ISO, exposure, etc.)
• 🕒 View capture date/time and digitization date
• 📍 Extract GPS coordinates and generate a direct Google Maps link
• 🖊️ View software/editing history and author/copyright info
• 🔍 Inspect all raw EXIF tags in an advanced view
• ⚠️ Automatic privacy flag summary (warns if GPS/personal data is embedded)
• 🔒 SHA-256 file hash for integrity verification
• 💾 Export a full metadata report as a .txt file

🔐 Privacy Notice

This tool is meant to help you understand and audit what metadata your photos contain before sharing them online (e.g. many phone photos secretly contain exact GPS coordinates). It does not modify or strip metadata — it is a read-only analyzer.

💡 Tip: If you want to strip metadata before sharing a photo, re-save it without EXIF data using an image editor, or extend this project with a "Strip Metadata" feature in metadata.py.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Python 3
• Tkinter — GUI
• Pillow (PIL) — image loading, preview, EXIF parsing
• exifread — fallback/deeper EXIF tag support

---

📌 Possible Future Improvements

• Batch analysis for an entire folder of images
• Metadata stripping / anonymizing tool
• Export report as PDF instead of plain text
• Drag-and-drop image loading
• Dark mode UI theme
