EXIF viewer
Where was this photo taken, when, and with which camera? Read your photo's EXIF data here for free — right in your browser, without the photo ever leaving your device.
Everything happens in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded.
What is EXIF data?
With every shot, cameras and phones write so-called EXIF data into the file: date and time, make and model, lens, exposure settings and — if location services are on — the exact GPS coordinates. Editing software often adds fields of its own (XMP, IPTC), up to and including the photographer's name.
This viewer shows everything your photo contains, neatly in one table. If there is a GPS location, you can view it on a map with one click — via a link you open yourself; the page never loads a map on its own, because even a map request would give your location away.
What is it useful for?
Looking up where and when a holiday photo was taken. Checking which settings produced that one great shot. Verifying whether a photo you are about to post secretly contains your home address. Or plain curiosity: a photo someone forwarded sometimes tells more than the sender realised.
Not sure whether to share a photo with location data? Read it here first — and download a clean copy right away if needed.
View and clean up
Below the table sits a button that prepares a copy without metadata. It works without quality loss: only the metadata blocks are cut out of the file, the image data stays intact byte for byte. Want to read more about when cleaning up makes sense? Have a look at our EXIF remover tool.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Reading happens entirely in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device — even the GPS location you see here is visible to no one else.
What can I read from EXIF data?
When the photo was taken, with which camera and lens, the exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO), the software used and — if location services were on — the exact GPS coordinates, sometimes including altitude.
Why do some photos show nothing?
Many platforms strip metadata on sending: a photo that arrived via WhatsApp or social media is usually already empty. Screenshots and exported edits often carry little or no EXIF data either.
Can I also remove the metadata here?
Yes. Below the table there is a button that downloads a copy without metadata, with no quality loss. The image stays intact byte for byte; only the metadata blocks disappear.
