EXIF Viewer

See the hidden data inside a photo.

Drop a photo and this tool reads the EXIF metadata hidden inside it: the camera and lens, the aperture, shutter speed and ISO, the date it was taken, and the GPS location if the file carries one. It is read-only, so nothing about your file changes and nothing is downloaded. The photo is parsed in your browser and never uploaded, so it works with the network off.

How it works

Every photo straight from a phone or camera carries a small block of tags called EXIF, written the moment the shutter fired. The tool parses that block in your browser and lays out the tags that matter: the gear, the exposure settings, the timestamp, and any GPS coordinates. If the file has been through a screenshot, a social upload, or an editor that scrubs metadata, there is nothing to show, and the tool says so plainly.

What it reads

Metadata What it tells you
Camera and lens The make and model of the body, plus the lens where the file records it
Exposure Aperture (f-number), shutter speed and ISO, i.e. how the shot was set
Date taken The exact date and time the shutter fired, from DateTimeOriginal
GPS location Latitude and longitude: the spot where the photo was taken

Questions people ask

Why does my image show no EXIF data?

Many images never had it, or had it stripped. Screenshots, images saved from most websites, and photos posted to social platforms are usually scrubbed of metadata, so there is nothing left to read. A file straight off a camera or phone is where you will see the full set of tags.

Can EXIF really show where a photo was taken?

Yes, if the camera recorded it. Phones with location services on write GPS latitude and longitude into the file, which pins the spot to within a few meters. This tool shows those coordinates when they exist. If you want them gone before sharing, use the EXIF Remover.

Is my photo uploaded to read its metadata?

No. The file is parsed on your own device and never sent anywhere, so it runs offline. The tool only reads the tags to display them. It does not change your file, and there is nothing to download.
