EXIF Data Viewer

About the EXIF Data Viewer

Photos carry hidden metadata called EXIF — details the camera or phone records inside the file. This reveals it: the camera and lens used, the date and time the shot was taken, the exposure settings, and often the GPS location where the photo was captured. It's useful for photographers reviewing their settings, for checking what a photo might be exposing about you before you share it, and for verifying when and where an image was taken.

How it works

You load an image and the tool parses its EXIF block in your browser, then lists the fields it finds, including:

• Camera make and model, and lens
• Date taken
• Exposure (shutter speed), aperture (f-number), ISO, and focal length
• Orientation and software
• GPS location, where present
• Plus the image dimensions and file size

Only fields that exist in the file are shown, so a photo with sparse metadata displays fewer rows.

Assumptions and behaviour

• It reads EXIF metadata embedded in the file — most common in JPEGs straight from a camera or phone.
• Exposure and aperture are formatted readably (e.g. 1/250 s, f/2.8), and orientation is translated into plain terms.
• GPS coordinates are shown when the photo contains them — this is the field most worth being aware of for privacy.
• Only present fields are listed; missing ones are simply omitted.

Limitations

• Not every image has EXIF. PNGs and many web images carry little or none, and screenshots usually have none — you'll see just dimensions and file size for those.
• Metadata can be stripped or edited. Social platforms often remove EXIF on upload, and any field (including the date or location) can be altered, so treat it as indicative, not proof.
• It displays metadata; to remove it, use the EXIF Data Remover.
• It reads standard EXIF fields; some proprietary maker-note data may not be shown.

Privacy

The photo is read entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. This matters especially because EXIF can contain your GPS location; here, that data is shown only to you and never leaves your device.
