Inspect every tag hidden inside a photo: camera and lens, exposure settings, timestamps, GPS coordinates, software history, and raw EXIF values. The file is parsed on your own device and never uploaded.

One focused tool — no clutter, no watermarks, no upload queue.
We walk the actual file structure — JPEG APP segments, PNG chunks, RIFF containers — and decode the TIFF directories inside, so you see the real tags rather than a summary.
Latitude and longitude are converted from raw degree-minute-second rationals into decimal coordinates, with altitude and a one-click map link when a photo is geotagged.
Shutter speed appears as 1/250 s, aperture as f/2.8, and coded values like flash mode, metering, and white balance are translated into plain English instead of numbers.
PNG text chunks, WebP EXIF and XMP payloads, GIF, BMP, TIFF and HEIC container details are all recognised, not just standard JPEG photos.
Filter hundreds of tags by name instantly, and export everything as JSON when you need the data in a spreadsheet, a report, or another tool.
The bytes are read with the FileReader API and parsed in JavaScript on your machine. That matters here more than anywhere, because metadata is exactly the sensitive part.
No account, no installs, no waiting on a server.
Drag an image onto the page or browse for it. The file is read directly from disk into your browser's memory.
Camera, exposure, GPS, and file details are grouped into sections. Use the search box to jump to any specific tag.
Download the full tag set as JSON, or head to the EXIF remover if you would rather strip the data out entirely.
What EXIF actually reveals about a photo, why it matters, and how to inspect it without handing the file to a website.
Most metadata viewers work by uploading your photo, running a server-side utility over it, and printing the output. That is a strange trade for a privacy-relevant task: to find out what your photo reveals, you first reveal it to a stranger. This exif reader parses the file in JavaScript on your own device, so you get the same depth of detail with none of the exposure.
Beyond the obvious camera model, EXIF is quietly revealing. Timestamps pin down when a picture was taken to the second, sometimes with a timezone offset. Software tags expose which editor touched the file and on what operating system. Serial number fields can tie multiple photos to the same physical camera body. And GPS tags can place you at a specific address, which is why so much advice about sharing photos online starts with checking metadata.
Metadata is also a learning tool. Comparing shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and focal length across a set of shots shows you exactly what worked and what did not. Lens data helps you decide what to buy next. Timestamps rebuild the sequence of a shoot. And when a client or stock library queries an image's provenance, the embedded tags are the fastest evidence available.
Reading metadata is usually the first half of the job. Once you have seen what a photo carries, you may well want to remove it before publishing or sharing — particularly GPS coordinates and device serial numbers. The EXIF remover on this site strips every tag while leaving the image pixels bit-for-bit identical, so nothing is recompressed in the process.
The practical details, including how your privacy is protected.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a block of metadata that cameras and phones embed inside photos. It typically records the make and model of the device, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash state, the exact date and time the shot was taken, editing software, and — if location services were enabled — the GPS coordinates where you stood.
Only if the photo was geotagged. When a camera or phone had location access at the time of capture, the GPS latitude, longitude, and often altitude are written into the file. This viewer converts those raw coordinates into decimal degrees and offers a map link. If no GPS tags are present, the photo simply was not geotagged, or the data was stripped later.
Several things remove it. Screenshots are generated by the operating system and never had camera data. Social networks including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter strip metadata on upload. Messaging apps often re-encode images. And any editor that exports a fresh file may discard the original tags. An empty result usually means the file has already been sanitised.
JPEG and TIFF carry classic EXIF and are fully supported, including maker notes and thumbnails. PNG text and eXIf chunks, WebP EXIF, XMP and ICC chunks, GIF, BMP, and HEIC or AVIF container metadata are also parsed. For any other format you still get file-level facts such as dimensions, MIME type, byte size, and last-modified date.
No. Everything runs inside your browser tab using the HTML5 Canvas and File APIs. Your photos are read from disk, processed by your own device, and saved straight back to your downloads folder. No file is ever transmitted to us, so there is nothing for us to store, log, or share.
It is completely free with no account, no watermark, and no cap on how many images you process. Because the work happens on your hardware rather than ours, there are no server bills to pass on to you.
Every tool runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and nothing costs anything.
