How it works
How batch processing works
Upload up to 20 images at once and get metadata summaries displayed side-by-side. Each file is analyzed for EXIF data including camera model, lens, exposure settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and software tags. Results are presented in a scannable grid format, making it easy to spot patterns across a set of photos — which files carry GPS data, which were edited, and which came from different cameras.
Privacy auditing at scale
Run an entire photo album through the Batch Scanner before publishing on a website or sharing via email. Quickly flag images that expose GPS coordinates, device serial numbers, or personal identifiers. Once you've identified risky files, clean them with the EXIF Remover or check individual risk scores using the Privacy Score tool. Read our Photo Privacy Guide for the complete auditing workflow.
Export options
Download batch results as CSV for spreadsheet analysis or JSON for programmatic use. CSV exports are useful for creating metadata inventories, comparing camera settings across a shoot, or documenting which files contain sensitive data. JSON exports integrate directly into automated workflows and content management pipelines. Both formats include every extracted EXIF field for each processed file. This makes the Batch Scanner ideal for creating audit trails and metadata documentation.
Professional use cases
Photographers reviewing an event shoot to verify all images were captured with the correct camera settings. Newsrooms auditing submitted photos to confirm they originate from the claimed time and location. Legal teams cataloging image evidence with provenance metadata. Real estate agencies checking listing photos for editing traces before publication. E-commerce teams auditing product images for consistent quality and metadata before uploading to a storefront.
Analyzing photos one at a time works for quick checks, but professional workflows often involve dozens or hundreds of images. The Batch Scanner bridges that gap by processing multiple files in a single session, showing metadata for all uploads in a unified view. Whether you need to audit a gallery collection before publishing, run bulk privacy checks on a portfolio, or verify several hundred images from a mass import, batch processing saves hours of manual work. Unlike command-line tools like ExifTool that require installation and terminal knowledge, Scanly's batch processing runs directly in the browser with a drag-and-drop interface. For single-file deep dives, use the EXIF Checker or the free online EXIF viewer. To compare two specific photos side by side, the Metadata Comparison tool shows field-by-field differences. Learn more about what EXIF data is and why it matters for digital photography workflows. If you need to strip metadata from flagged files after batch analysis, the location removal tool focuses specifically on GPS data while preserving other useful EXIF fields.
