EXIF & Image Metadata Viewer
See the camera, exposure, date and location data hidden inside a photo.
Processing: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input and any file you open stay on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.
How to use the exif & image metadata viewer
- Open a photo — JPEG carries the most metadata.
- Read the camera, exposure, date and image sections.
- Check the location warning if it appears.
About this tool
Cameras and phones record far more than the picture. A single JPEG can carry the camera and lens model, the exposure settings, the date and time, the software that edited it, and — if location services were on — the exact coordinates where it was taken.
That last one is worth taking seriously. A photo posted from home, or attached to a listing, can disclose an address to anyone who opens the file. This tool flags GPS data prominently when it finds it, and the metadata remover strips it.
If nothing is found, that is normal: PNGs and screenshots rarely carry EXIF, and most social platforms strip it on upload — which is why a photo saved from a website usually has none.
Common uses
- Checking whether a photo reveals where it was taken.
- Reading the exposure settings of a shot you liked.
- Confirming which camera or software produced an image.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does my image show no metadata?
- Screenshots and PNGs usually have none, and most social platforms remove EXIF when you upload. There is simply nothing stored in the file.
- Can I trust the dates?
- Treat them as clues. EXIF timestamps come from the device clock and can be edited by any photo application.
- Is my photo uploaded to read it?
- No. It is parsed in the page on your device — which is the point, given that the data may include your location.
