🔍 Image Metadata Viewer (EXIF)
View the EXIF data embedded in a photo: the camera and lens, exposure settings, the date it was taken, and — importantly — any GPS coordinates that reveal where it was shot.
Shows the EXIF/metadata embedded in a photo — camera, settings, date and any GPS location — so you can see what a picture reveals before you share it. Everything is read locally and never uploaded. To strip this data, use the metadata remover. 🔒
How the image metadata viewer (exif) works
Photos from phones and cameras embed EXIF metadata inside the file: the make and model, aperture, shutter, ISO and focal length, a timestamp, and often the exact GPS location. This viewer reads that data on your device and lays it out, flagging GPS coordinates with a map link so you can see precisely what a picture would reveal. Nothing is uploaded — the image is parsed in your browser.
GPS location is the big privacy concern: a photo posted straight from your phone can pinpoint your home, workplace or child's school. Many social platforms strip EXIF on upload, but files shared by email, message or cloud link usually keep it. If this viewer shows a location or other data you don't want to share, remove it first with the metadata remover. Screenshots and some edited or exported images carry little or no EXIF.
Frequently asked questions
How do I view the EXIF data of a photo?
Choose the image here and its EXIF metadata — camera, settings, date and any GPS — is displayed, all read locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Does my photo contain my location?
If GPS was enabled when it was taken, likely yes — and this viewer will flag the coordinates with a map link. Photos straight from a phone often embed precise location, which is why it's worth checking before sharing.
Why does my image show no metadata?
It was probably stripped already (many apps and social platforms remove EXIF on upload), or it's a screenshot or exported format that doesn't store much. That's good for privacy — there's nothing revealing to share.
How do I remove the metadata?
Use the image metadata remover, which rewrites the photo without the EXIF data. Viewing here shows you what's there; the remover takes it out — both entirely in your browser.
