Metadata free, prog, works great!

Sharing a nice tool for reading Metadata off pictures (does lots more too)!

EXIF Tool is FANTASTIC!  Free too!  Download here:

I use it to extract data off photos, but far below, I’ve listed from the EXIF Tool site, a small column of other uses for this tool.

Spoof Deconstruction Experts and Law Enforcement, EXIF Tool reads, and writes.  There are other progs that are desinged specifically to allow the user to distort Metadata from Photos (and other digital devices).  Keep this in mind both when your looking to show evidence could have been distorted by a spoof, thereby interjecting doubt of scientific data, and from LE perspective - try to white hat your scientifically sound evidence.  This way your ready for any doubt that the other side might cast on the evidence.

Picasa and other free online progs can see photo Metadata too, of course, that is how they are showing you Lat/Long from GPS enabeled device photos that have apps enabeled for location log.  EXIF Tool gives you full control over ALL the collectable MD, very professional.  With this, you have the 'back end' of Picasa in you shop.
