Image Metadata Viewer (EXIF)
Find out what a photo reveals before you share it: camera and lens, exposure settings, the date it was taken, editing software and — often — the exact GPS location where it was shot.
Runs in your browser
How to use
- Drop a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF or HEIC).
- Read the summary and any GPS warning.
- Open “All metadata fields” for the complete list.
How it works
Metadata is read from the file's EXIF, XMP and IPTC blocks with the open-source exifr library, directly in your browser. HEIC photos from iPhones can be inspected even though browsers can't display them.
Most phones store GPS coordinates in every photo when location is enabled for the camera. Many social networks strip this data on upload, but email, messaging apps and file sharing often keep it.
Examples
- Holiday photo
- Shows the phone model, the date and time taken and the coordinates of the beach.
Common uses
- Checking photos before sharing them
- Verifying when and where a photo was taken
- Photography learning (settings used)

Frequently asked questions
Can metadata be faked?
Yes, EXIF data is easy to edit, so treat it as a clue, not proof.
How do I remove it?
Use the Remove Image Metadata tool, which re-encodes the image without any metadata.
