See everything your camera wrote into a photo: this EXIF viewer reads the metadata block and lays out the camera make and model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, capture date and the software that last touched the file. If the photo is geotagged, one click opens the exact spot on OpenStreetMap so you can see where it was taken.
Photographers use EXIF to study the settings behind a shot they like; buyers verify that a 'straight from camera' listing photo wasn't edited; and anyone can check what a photo silently reveals before posting it online — the GPS field is often more than people intend to share. The file is parsed locally in your browser, so inspecting metadata never means uploading the photo.
Features
- Camera make, model and lens identification
- Full exposure triangle: aperture, shutter speed and ISO
- Capture date and editing software fields
- GPS coordinates with a one-click map view
- Clean, human-readable formatting like f/2.8 and 1/250 s
- Metadata parsed on your device — the photo isn't uploaded
How to view EXIF data online
- Drop a photo onto the viewer — JPEGs from cameras and phones work best.
- Read the camera, lens and exposure settings in the table.
- Check the capture date and any editing-software field.
- If GPS data exists, click View on map to see the location.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata that cameras and phones embed inside photo files: the device and lens used, exposure settings, the exact date and time of capture, and often GPS coordinates. It travels invisibly with the file until something strips it or a viewer like this reads it.
Why does my photo show no EXIF data?
Most social networks and messaging apps strip metadata on upload, so photos saved from Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram arrive clean. Screenshots and most PNG graphics never had EXIF to begin with. For full metadata, use the original file straight from the camera or phone.
Can this viewer tell me where a photo was taken?
If the camera or phone recorded GPS coordinates, yes — the viewer detects them and offers a link that opens the precise location on OpenStreetMap. Many phones geotag by default, which is exactly why it's worth checking your own photos before sharing them publicly.
Does viewing EXIF data remove it from the photo?
No — this viewer is strictly read-only and never modifies your file in any way; it simply displays what is already embedded. If you want to strip the metadata before sharing a photo, use Tooldoodle's EXIF remover, which rewrites the image without the metadata block while leaving every pixel untouched.
Is it safe to inspect private photos here?
Yes. The metadata is parsed by a JavaScript library running in your own browser; the photo is never transmitted, and neither is anything the tool finds in it. Checking what a sensitive image reveals doesn't create a new copy of it anywhere.
