About this tool
Photos carry more than pixels. Cameras and phones store EXIF data with every picture: the camera and lens, exposure settings, the date and time and, very often, the exact GPS position where it was taken. Editing programs add XMP data, and agencies add IPTC captions and copyright.
This viewer shows all of it, grouped and readable. A summary highlights the fields that matter most, and a warning appears when the photo contains a location, with a link to see it on a map.
The photo is read in your browser and never uploaded. To share a picture without this information, use the metadata remover.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is information a camera or phone writes into a photo: camera model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, date and time, orientation and often the GPS location. It is invisible in the picture itself but any program can read it.
Can people see where my photo was taken?
If the photo contains GPS data, yes: anyone who gets the original file can read the exact coordinates. Many social networks remove it when you upload, but email, messengers that send “files” and cloud links usually keep it.
Which formats can it read?
JPG, HEIC (iPhone), PNG, WebP, AVIF and TIFF. Screenshots and images saved by websites often contain little or no metadata.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The file is read by your browser on your device. Only the map link, if you click it, opens OpenStreetMap with the coordinates.
