Photo Metadata Evidence PDF — EXIF for Court
Photos often settle disputes, but judges and property managers want proof of when and where each image was captured. EXIF metadata provides that context. With the Photo Metadata PDF tool, you can review timestamps and GPS data in your browser, then export a clean summary for the record.
Why EXIF matters for evidence
- Timestamps show whether damage existed before or after a tenant moved in.
- Camera make/model demonstrates authenticity by tying images to a specific device.
- GPS coordinates can prove a photo was taken at the disputed property (or elsewhere).
How to build the PDF
- Launch the Photo Metadata PDF tool and drag in JPG, PNG, or HEIC files. The tool never uploads your photos.
- Review each row in the metadata table. Adjust options to group pages by capture date, include GPS, or change the sort order.
- Click “Generate PDF” to download a court-ready summary with a cover table and per-photo pages containing thumbnails and EXIF details.
Best practices
- Keep original photos available so you can provide raw files if opposing counsel requests them.
- Note redactions or blurred faces in the PDF if you removed personal information.
- Pair the metadata appendix with your Photo Evidence Binder or TimelineCourt packet for a full story.
FAQ
What if a photo has no EXIF data?
The PDF clearly labels photos without EXIF. You can still include file dates and note where the image came from (e.g., text thread export).
Can I include GPS coordinates?
Yes. Toggle GPS on to include coordinates rounded to three decimals. If privacy is a concern, leave the GPS checkbox off before generating the PDF.
Does the tool upload my photos?
No. EXIF parsing and PDF rendering happen locally in your browser so sensitive evidence stays on your device.
