Do Jpegs Have Metadata?

A typical JPEG file contains a lot more information than just the bytes required to store image data. A JPEG file also has a lot of metadata in each file containing auxiliary information about the image. On an average, this kind of metadata occupies 16% of size of the JPEG file.

How do I view metadata in a JPEG?

Viewing in File Explorer

Right-click the JPG file, select "Properties" and then click the "Details" tab. Although not as vast as viewing all Exif data, the resulting list contains important data, such as dates, camera settings, GPS, resolution, bit depth, size, user tags and the Windows account owner.

Is there metadata in JPEG?

JPEG metadata consists of the data contained in marker segments in a JPEG stream. The image metadata object returned from a read describes the contents of the marker segments between the SOI marker and the EOI marker for that image.
