EXIF Data Viewer
Extract and view EXIF metadata from photos. See dimensions and file info.
✓ Client-Side Processing: All EXIF data is extracted directly in your browser. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.
View image metadata including dimensions, file size, and format. Extracts EXIF data from JPEG images. All processing happens locally in your browser.
Every photo from a phone or camera carries embedded metadata, and this viewer shows you all of it. Select an image and the tool parses its EXIF, TIFF, GPS, IPTC, and ICC segments, then lays the results out in grouped sections: file information (name, size, dimensions, orientation), camera details (make, model, lens, software), and shooting settings including ISO, exposure time formatted as a shutter fraction like 1/250s, f-number, focal length, flash status, white balance, exposure program, and metering mode.
If the photo contains GPS data, the tool displays the coordinates in decimal degrees with compass directions, shows the recorded altitude, and builds a direct Google Maps link so you can see exactly where the shot was taken. This is the fastest way to check whether a photo you are about to post reveals your home address, or to recover where a vacation picture was taken. A color and quality section rounds things out with color space, resolution, and compression values when present.
Not every image has metadata. Screenshots, images saved from social networks, and files that passed through an editor are often stripped, and the tool tells you plainly when nothing was found. EXIF coverage is richest in JPEG files straight from a camera or phone; PNG and WebP files typically carry far less. To delete metadata instead of viewing it, use the companion EXIF Remover on this site.
- 1
Select an image
Click the upload area and pick a photo. JPEG files straight from a camera or phone carry the most complete metadata.
- 2
Review the extracted data
The tool parses EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and ICC segments and groups results into file, camera, shooting settings, and color sections.
- 3
Check the GPS section
If location data exists, coordinates and altitude appear with a Google Maps link showing exactly where the photo was taken.
Privacy check before posting
Inspect a photo before uploading it to a marketplace or forum to confirm it does not contain your home GPS coordinates.
Recovering shot settings
A photographer reviews the ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and focal length of a well-exposed shot to reproduce the look later.
Finding where a photo was taken
Open an old vacation picture, read its embedded coordinates, and click the Google Maps link to identify the exact spot.
Verifying photo authenticity
Check the capture date, camera model, and editing software fields when assessing whether an image matches its claimed origin.
Why does my image show no EXIF data?
Many platforms strip metadata on upload, so images saved from social networks, messaging apps, or screenshots usually have none. Editors and export pipelines often remove it too. Original files straight off the camera retain the most.
Which file formats carry the most metadata?
JPEG files from cameras and phones carry the richest EXIF blocks, including GPS and lens data. HEIC, TIFF, and some PNG or WebP files can contain metadata, but coverage varies by the software that created them.
Can this tool see GPS location in my photos?
Yes, if the photo contains GPS tags. The viewer shows latitude and longitude in decimal degrees with N/S/E/W directions, the recorded altitude in meters, and a link that opens the exact spot in Google Maps.
Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read directly from your disk by the parser running inside the page. Nothing is transmitted to a server, which also means even multi-megabyte photos are analyzed in under a second.
Can I remove the metadata I find here?
This tool is read-only. To strip EXIF, GPS, and other metadata from a photo, use the EXIF Remover tool on this site, which exports a clean copy in JPG, PNG, or WebP.
