EXIF data is available for JPEG files. Other formats show basic info.

See the hidden metadata inside your photos

Most cameras and smartphones embed a block of hidden information in every photo they take, known as EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data. It can include the camera make and model, the date and time the shot was taken, exposure settings like aperture and shutter speed, the focal length, the software used to edit the file, and sometimes the exact GPS location.

This viewer reads that metadata and presents it in a clean, labeled table. It is useful for photographers checking their settings, for anyone curious about how a picture was captured, and for privacy-conscious users who want to know whether a photo reveals where it was taken before they share it online.

How to view EXIF data

Drop an image onto the upload area or click to browse and select one. The tool immediately reads the file and displays a thumbnail along with its size, pixel dimensions, and format. If the image contains EXIF metadata, every recognized field is listed in the table below with friendly labels such as "Camera Model", "Date Taken", and "Aperture".

If the photo includes GPS coordinates, a highlighted panel appears with a "View on Maps" link so you can see exactly where it was taken. If no EXIF data is found, the tool tells you so — this often means the camera or app stripped it, or the format simply does not carry it.

Format support and privacy

Full EXIF parsing is available for JPEG files, which is the format cameras and phones use most often for photos. Other formats such as PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP can still be opened, and the tool will show basic file information like size and dimensions, but they typically do not carry EXIF metadata.

Your image is read directly in your browser and is never uploaded to a server. Because the EXIF data, including any location information, stays on your device, this is a safe way to check what a photo reveals before posting it. The tool is free with no limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data?▼
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in image files by cameras and phones. It can include the camera model, capture date and time, exposure settings, focal length, and GPS location.
Which formats can I read metadata from?▼
Full EXIF parsing works with JPEG files. Other formats like PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP can be opened to show basic file info, but they usually do not contain EXIF metadata.
Can this tool show where a photo was taken?▼
Yes, if the photo contains GPS coordinates in its EXIF data, the tool displays them and provides a link to view the location on Google Maps.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?▼
No. The file is read and parsed entirely in your browser, so your images and any location data never leave your device.
Why does my photo show no EXIF data?▼
Many social media platforms and editing apps strip EXIF data, and some cameras can be set not to record it. A non-JPEG format may also simply not carry EXIF metadata.
