EXIF Metadata Viewer
Photos carry more than pixels: camera model, lens, shutter speed, ISO, capture date and often GPS coordinates. Read all of it locally, then remove it before publishing if any of it should stay private.

What it does
Photos carry more than pixels: camera model, lens, shutter speed, ISO, capture date and often GPS coordinates. Read all of it locally, then remove it before publishing if any of it should stay private.
Inspect camera settings, dates and GPS coordinates stored inside a photo.
How to use it
Here is the short version of using EXIF Metadata Viewer.
- Open a photo — JPEG, HEIC and TIFF files usually contain EXIF.
- Read the groups — Camera, exposure, dates and location tags are grouped for scanning.
- Check for GPS — A warning appears when coordinates are present, with a map link.
Features that matter
What EXIF Metadata Viewer does well.
- Nothing leaves your device — The work happens in your browser tab. There is no upload endpoint in this app, so your files and text cannot be stored, logged or seen by us.
- No upload wait — You skip the round trip to a server entirely. Results are limited by your own CPU, not by network speed or queue size.
- Free, no account, no quotas — No sign-up wall, no watermark, no daily limit. Optional accounts only exist to save favourites and presets across devices.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo safe to use here?
Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste or open is sent to a server, and the page keeps no copy after you close it.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Every tool is fully usable without signing in. An account only adds saved favourites and reusable presets.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The interface is mobile-first with large touch targets and a stacked layout, so it works on phones and tablets as well as desktops.
Do social networks remove EXIF automatically?
Many large platforms strip metadata on upload, but not all do, and direct file sharing preserves it. Check before sending a photo to a stranger.
Why is some data missing?
Screenshots, edited exports and messaging apps often remove EXIF. A photo without metadata is normal and not a sign of a problem.
