View EXIF Data

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is information stored inside a JPEG by your camera or phone. It can include the device make and model, the date and time, exposure settings, and — if location services were on — the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken.

Metadata can reveal more than you expect. GPS coordinates can pinpoint your home or workplace, dates can track your routine, and camera serials can link multiple photos to the same device. Viewing a file’s metadata is the first step to controlling it.

Many images are stripped or were created without EXIF — screenshots, exported chat images, and photos re-saved by some apps often have none. That is normal and not an error; it simply means the file carries no readable camera or location tags.

No. The JPEG is opened and parsed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, so your photos and their hidden location data never leave your device.

This viewer parses the EXIF format, which lives in JPEG files — the place camera and GPS data is normally stored. PNG and WebP files are not covered by this tool. The Remove Image Metadata tool also focuses on JPEG for its field-by-field view.

If you do not want a photo’s location attached to it, open the Remove Image Metadata tool and download a clean copy. You can also switch off location services in your camera app before taking future photos.

Typical fields include camera make and model, lens model, software, exposure time, aperture, ISO speed, focal length, date taken, pixel dimensions, orientation, and any GPS position. Only the tags that are actually present in the file are shown.
