How do I view a photo's EXIF data?

Drop your photo onto the upload zone (or click to browse, or paste with Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) and the embedded EXIF metadata — camera, exposure, date and any GPS location — is shown in a grouped table. It is completely free and runs entirely in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.

Is the photo uploaded to a server?

No. The file is parsed entirely in your browser with a JavaScript reader; it never leaves your device. This is the core design principle of the tool.

What is EXIF metadata?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is data cameras and phones embed in a photo — camera model, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO, the date taken, and often the GPS coordinates of where it was shot.

Can it show where a photo was taken?

If the photo contains GPS tags, the viewer shows the latitude and longitude and a link to view the spot on a map. Many phone photos include this unless location tagging is turned off.

What if no metadata appears?

Some images carry no EXIF — screenshots, edited exports, or photos whose metadata was already stripped. The viewer will tell you when there is nothing embedded.

Is the EXIF Viewer free?

Yes — viewing a photo's embedded EXIF metadata (camera, GPS, exposure, dates) is completely free, forever. No account, no sign-up, and no limit on how many photos you inspect. Files are parsed entirely in your browser with a JavaScript reader; your photos are never uploaded to any server. The site is ad-supported.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Parsing happens in the browser, so after the page loads it works offline.

EXIF Metadata Viewer

EXIF Viewer is a free browser-based tool that reads and displays a photo's embedded metadata: camera make and model, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO, date taken, and any GPS location. The file is parsed on your device with no upload, so you can safely check what a photo reveals before sharing it.

Inspect the camera, exposure and GPS metadata stored in any photo — free, no upload required.

100% Free — Forever. No fees, ever.
Private: files are processed locally in your browser and never sent to a server.
No upload, no account, no sign-up.

EXIF can embed GPS coordinates accurate to a few metres, which is why checking and stripping metadata matters before sharing photos publicly.
EXIF is defined by the JEITA/CIPA standard and is most commonly stored in JPEG, TIFF, and HEIC files.
Social networks often strip EXIF on upload, but files shared directly (email, messaging, cloud links) usually keep it intact.
This viewer is read-only; to delete metadata, the Remove Metadata tool re-encodes the image without the EXIF block.
Because parsing is client-side, even a sensitive photo's location data is revealed to you without ever transmitting the file.
