Below is the API URL to a public photo uploaded to our EC5 Demo Project:

[Photo](https://five.epicollect.net/api/export/media/ec5-demo-project?type=photo&format=entry_original&name=e0734772-f1d3-4bf8-b605-3a9931af6e90_1738237408.jpg)

When we save this photo locally using Chrome and check it against a tool like [Jimpl](https://jimpl.com), we receive the metadata correctly.

Or you can analyse the API URL directly using [exifinfo](https://exifinfo.org/)
