EXIF Viewer
See exactly what your photos reveal. This browser-based EXIF viewer reads camera, date, GPS, orientation and colour profile data — without uploading your image anywhere.
Files never leave your device
All parsing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
When to use this tool
- Before posting a photo publicly, to check what hidden information it carries.
- When buying or selling second-hand goods online — listings often leak the seller's home GPS.
- When verifying when and where a picture was taken.
- When investigating a screenshot or image you received.
How it works
- 1Drop or select an image (JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF and WEBP supported).
- 2We parse the file locally with the exifr library — your photo never leaves the browser.
- 3We highlight any GPS location data found and link you to the metadata remover.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded inside a photo by your camera, phone or editing software. It can include the device make and model, lens, ISO, shutter speed, the exact date and time, orientation, colour profile and — most importantly for privacy — GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken.
Does the EXIF viewer upload my photo?
No. The entire parse runs in your browser using JavaScript. The file is read into memory, EXIF tags are extracted, and nothing is transmitted to any server.
Which file types are supported?
JPG, PNG (when XMP/EXIF is embedded), TIFF, HEIC/HEIF and WEBP. Some screenshots and graphics may have no EXIF at all — that is normal.
I see GPS coordinates — should I be worried?
If you intend to share the photo publicly, yes. GPS in EXIF reveals the exact location the picture was taken, which often coincides with someone's home, school or workplace. Use the Remove Image Metadata tool before sharing.
Why does my screenshot have no EXIF?
Most screenshots, exported PNGs and re-saved images strip EXIF automatically. That is a good thing for privacy but means there is nothing to display.
