About the EXIF Viewer
Photos from phones and cameras carry hidden EXIF data: the device model, lens, exposure settings, the exact time and often the GPS position where the picture was taken. This viewer reads that data from a JPEG in your browser, groups it so it is easy to scan, warns you when a location is present, and can save a copy with the metadata stripped out before you share it.
What you can do
- See camera make and model, software, lens and orientation.
- Read exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash and exposure program.
- Check when the photo was taken, digitised and last modified.
- See GPS latitude and longitude as decimal coordinates, plus altitude, with a clear privacy warning.
- Download a JPEG copy with EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comment blocks removed.
When it works best
- Checking whether a photo reveals your home address before posting it publicly.
- Looking up the settings behind a shot you want to learn from.
- Confirming the date and device of a photo sent to you.
Things to know
- The photo is read in your browser and never uploaded, which matters when the data you are checking is your location.
- Removal is lossless: metadata segments are cut out and the image data is not re-encoded.
- PNG and WebP files can be opened, but their metadata is not read, and removal works on JPEG only.
- Many social networks strip EXIF on upload, but messaging apps and email often do not. Re-saving through Compress Image also drops it.
