EXIF viewer

Date, camera, settings and location — right in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

Usage statistics

We count page views and operations. A random cookie identifies a browser profile; after sign-in its activity is linked to your account. Your last IP and its observation date are visible only to the site owner and kept for up to 90 days. Daily counts are kept for 90 days, and inactive profiles are removed after 90 days. Formats, outcomes, error codes, and size and time ranges are counted separately. File names, contents and metadata stay on your device. Turning this off deletes the current browser profile.

How to view photo metadata

  1. Click the box above or drop your photos onto it — several at once is fine. JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF and more are supported.
  2. Each file gets a card: when and with what it was taken, exposure settings, the location on a map and the color profile. “All EXIF tags” shows the complete list.
  3. If a photo reveals too much, click “Download without metadata” to get a copy without EXIF, location and XMP.

Why use this EXIF viewer

  • Photos stay on your device

    Metadata is read right in your browser. Nobody but you sees the photos or what's stored in them.

  • Readable, not just raw tags

    Date, camera, shutter speed, aperture and ISO are shown in plain words, with the full tag list one click away.

  • Location on a map

    If a photo has GPS coordinates, open them in Google Maps or OpenStreetMap — only when you click the link yourself.

  • Remove it right away

    Spotted a location or a serial number? Download a copy without metadata in one click; the image itself isn't re-encoded.

FAQ

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is information a camera or phone writes into a photo: the date and time, device model, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, orientation and — if location is on — the GPS coordinates.

How can I find out where a photo was taken?

Add the photo: if it has coordinates, its card shows a “Location” line with map links. If there's no such line, the location wasn't recorded or was removed — messaging apps and social networks often do that.

How do I find the date a photo was taken?

The capture date and time are in the “Taken” line. That's the time recorded by the camera, independent of when the file was created or modified on disk.

Why does my photo have no metadata?

Many messaging apps and social networks strip EXIF when sending, and screenshots or images from the web often have none at all. In that case you'll see “No metadata found”.

Can I view the EXIF of iPhone HEIC photos?

Yes. HEIC, AVIF, JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF and JPEG XL are read right in your browser — even in browsers that can't display HEIC themselves.

What is the “embedded thumbnail”?

Some cameras and apps store a small copy of the photo inside EXIF. After cropping, it can still show the original uncropped frame, so it's worth checking before you share.

How do I remove the metadata?

Click “Download without metadata” on the file's card, or open “Remove EXIF data” to process many photos at once and choose what to keep, such as the capture date.

Is it safe?

Yes. Files are read in your browser and never sent to a server. Coordinates go to a map website only if you open a map link yourself.
