EXIF Viewer
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is the block of technical metadata a camera or phone writes into a photo. This viewer decodes it locally and shows the camera make and model, lens, exposure settings, capture date and any embedded GPS coordinates. Analyzed locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded.
What EXIF metadata reveals
EXIF is useful for photographers checking capture settings, but it also travels with a photo when you share it. That means the camera you used, the exact time of capture, and sometimes the GPS location of where the shot was taken can all be read by anyone who receives the file.
- Camera make, model and lens
- Exposure: shutter, aperture, ISO, focal length
- Original capture date and time
- GPS latitude / longitude, if the camera recorded it
- Editing software that last touched the file
Frequently Asked Questions
About reading EXIF, GPS, AI traces and other embedded metadata.
EXIF is a metadata standard cameras and phones use to store technical details inside an image file, such as camera model, exposure settings, date and GPS location.
Yes. If your camera or phone had location services enabled, the photo carries GPS coordinates in its EXIF. This viewer decodes them and can open the spot in a map, and you can strip them with the Metadata Remover.
