Free EXIF Viewer
Reveal the hidden data in your photos — camera, settings, date, and location metadata.
Upload a photo to see its EXIF metadata. Tip: photos shared on social media usually have EXIF stripped — try one straight from your camera.
How to use the EXIF viewer
- Upload a JPEG photo (EXIF lives in JPEGs, not PNGs).
- The metadata table appears instantly.
- Check camera, exposure settings, date taken, and GPS if present.
Your photos know where you've been
EXIF metadata can include the exact GPS coordinates where a photo was taken — precise enough to identify a house. Social networks strip this automatically, but email attachments, forum uploads, and cloud links often do not. Before sharing photos publicly, check what they contain with this viewer; if location data is present and you'd rather it weren't, strip it with an EXIF remover before posting. On the creative side, EXIF is a goldmine for learning photography: find a shot you love, read its aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focal length, then recreate the settings yourself. Camera make, model, and even the lens are all in there when the photo comes straight from the camera.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is metadata your camera embeds in JPEG files: camera model, exposure settings, date/time, and often GPS coordinates.
Why do some photos show no EXIF?
Many apps strip EXIF when sharing, editing, or screenshotting. PNG and WebP files rarely carry EXIF either.
Can EXIF reveal my location?
Yes — if the camera recorded GPS coordinates and they weren't stripped. Always check before posting sensitive photos publicly.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The file is parsed locally in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
