View all EXIF metadata from any photo — camera model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, GPS location, and date taken. Flags GPS data as a privacy risk. Shows a Google Maps link for geotagged photos. No upload to server — 100% browser-based.
Drop any JPG, JPEG, TIFF, or HEIC photo onto the upload area or click to browse. EXIF data is read directly from the raw file bytes — no upload, no server. PNG files rarely contain EXIF data.
Metadata is organized into categories: Camera Info (make, model, lens), Exposure (shutter, aperture, ISO, focal length), Image Info (dimensions, color space, orientation), GPS (coordinates with map link), and DateTime. Technical values are shown in human-readable format.
A privacy alert appears if GPS coordinates are found. GPS data can reveal exactly where a photo was taken. Click the Google Maps link to see the location, and use this tool to verify photos are safe to share online.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in image files by cameras and smartphones. It includes technical shooting data (camera settings, timestamp) and optional location data (GPS coordinates). JPEG and TIFF files commonly contain EXIF; PNG typically does not.
Yes — smartphones embed GPS coordinates in photos by default unless you disable location for your camera app. This means a selfie or home photo shared online can reveal your exact address to anyone who reads the EXIF data. Always check photos before posting them publicly.
On Windows: right-click the photo → Properties → Details tab → click "Remove Properties and Personal Information". On Mac: use Image Capture or Preview (File → Export and uncheck "Save Metadata"). Online tools can also strip EXIF while preserving image quality.
No. All EXIF reading happens in your browser using JavaScript and the FileReader API. Your photos never leave your device. No data is transmitted to any server.
Several reasons: the photo is a screenshot (no EXIF), it was saved from social media (platforms strip EXIF on upload), it is a PNG file (rarely contains EXIF), or EXIF was manually removed. Edited photos may also have partial EXIF.
GPS EXIF stores latitude, longitude, altitude, and sometimes speed and direction as decimal degrees or DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds). Smartphone GPS is typically accurate to 5–10 metres — precise enough to identify a specific house or room. Camera GPS accessories are similar. Dedicated GPS cameras can achieve sub-metre accuracy.
