What Is EXIF Data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata that cameras and phones embed inside every photo they take: GPS coordinates, the capture date and time, camera and lens model, exposure settings, orientation and more. It lives inside the file, invisible on the picture itself.
An EXIF viewer reads that block and presents it in a readable form. Because the data is part of the file, viewing it requires no internet connection to any photo service — everything is decoded locally on your device.
What This EXIF Viewer Shows
The viewer decodes your photo locally and shows exactly what the file carries — nothing is guessed or looked up:
- ✓GPS coordinates in decimal and degrees-minutes-seconds, with a map preview when a location is stored
- ✓Capture date and time, plus created/modified dates
- ✓Camera make and model, lens, and the software used to edit the photo
- ✓Exposure settings — ISO, aperture, shutter speed and focal length — when the camera stored them
- ✓A full table of every remaining metadata field in the file
If a field is missing, the file simply doesn't contain it — many apps strip EXIF when saving or sharing images.
Find Out Where a Photo Was Taken
When a photo has GPS data, the viewer shows its latitude and longitude and renders a small map with a marker at that position. This works for phone photos with location services enabled, drones, action cameras and dedicated GPS cameras.
The coordinates can be copied and pasted into any map app to see the exact spot. If the location is wrong — or you'd rather it wasn't there at all — you can change it with the geotag tool or remove it entirely.
Check a Photo Before You Share It
EXIF can reveal more than you expect: your home address from a casual photo, your daily routes, your camera gear and editing software. Checking a photo before publishing it takes seconds and shows exactly what a recipient could learn.
If the viewer shows data you'd rather keep private, strip it in one click: Remove EXIF metadata before sharing.
Supported Photo Formats
JPEG / JPG shows the most complete EXIF — this is the format cameras and phones write metadata into. PNG and WebP files can also be inspected, but they usually carry little or no EXIF, so expect fewer fields. HEIC (iPhone native) is not supported in the browser.
The viewer never modifies your file — it only reads it. Photos up to 20MB can be inspected.
EXIF Viewer FAQ
- What is EXIF data?
- EXIF is metadata embedded inside photo files by cameras and phones: GPS coordinates, capture date and time, camera and lens model, exposure settings and orientation. It is invisible in the picture but travels with the file wherever it is uploaded or sent.
- How do I view the EXIF data of a photo?
- Upload the photo on this page. The viewer decodes the file locally in your browser and shows every metadata field it contains — no app installation, no sign-up.
- Can I see where a photo was taken?
- Yes — if the photo has GPS metadata, the viewer shows its latitude and longitude and renders a map preview with a marker at the position. Photos without GPS data simply show no location.
- Why does my photo have no EXIF data?
- Many services strip EXIF when images are saved or shared: messaging apps, social networks after upload, and screenshot or editing tools. A stripped photo shows no metadata — that is a property of the file, not an error of the viewer.
- Are my photos uploaded to a server?
- No. The photo is decoded locally in your browser and never leaves your device. Only the map preview contacts OpenStreetMap, and that request contains nothing but the map area being rendered.
- Can I remove the EXIF data from a photo?
- Yes. The Remove EXIF tool deletes GPS, dates, camera info and other metadata losslessly — the image data stays untouched.
- Can I change the GPS location of a photo?
- Yes. The Geotag Photo tool writes new GPS coordinates into the photo's EXIF metadata — pick the spot on a map, search for a place, or type coordinates.
- Which photo formats can I inspect?
- JPEG/JPG shows the most complete EXIF. PNG and WebP can be inspected too, but they typically carry little or no EXIF. HEIC is not supported in the browser.
