What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a metadata standard that cameras and phones embed into image files. It records the camera make and model, lens, exposure settings (shutter, aperture, ISO, focal length), date and time of capture, orientation, software used, and — if location services were enabled — precise GPS coordinates.
EXIF is read by photo editors (to show camera settings), by operating systems (to show thumbnails and orientation), and by social platforms. Most public sites (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X) strip EXIF on upload, but image hosts, email attachments, and direct downloads typically preserve it. If you are sharing photos outside those walled gardens, assume the metadata travels with the file.
This viewer parses EXIF entirely in your browser using the exifr library. Your image never leaves your device. If you want a clean version of the photo to share, pair this tool with the Strip EXIF tool.
Your files never leave this page.

EXIF Viewer in 4 steps
Upload your image
Drag and drop an image onto the page or click to browse. Files stay on your device.
Wait for parsing
The tool reads the EXIF block and organizes metadata into Camera, Capture, Image, Dates, Location, and Authoring groups.
Review fields
Check camera body, lens, shutter/aperture/ISO, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and software used.
Strip if needed
If the photo contains GPS or other sensitive data, click through to the EXIF Stripper tool to remove it.
Frequently asked
Why is some data missing?
Many apps (Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter) strip EXIF on upload. Screenshots and edited images often lose fields, too. Only fields that the original writer embedded will appear.
Does my photo leave my device?
No. EXIF is parsed entirely in your browser with the exifr library. The image never reaches a server.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
For client-side tools, no — processing happens in your browser and files never leave your device. AI-powered tools (background removal, upscaling) send the image to our server temporarily and delete it immediately after processing.
