EXIF viewer

Photos carry more than pixels. Most cameras and phones write EXIF metadata into every JPEG: the camera model, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, the date it was taken, and often the exact GPS coordinates of where you stood. This tool reads that metadata and groups it into camera, exposure, date and time, location, and image details, with a map link when GPS coordinates are present.

What information does it actually show?

The tool sorts each recognized tag into a group: camera make and model and lens under Camera, shutter speed and aperture and ISO and flash and white balance under Exposure, capture and modification timestamps under Date & time, latitude and longitude under Location, and dimensions and orientation and color space under Image. Anything it doesn’t recognize still shows up under Other with its raw tag name, so you see everything the file contains rather than a curated subset. A handful of tags that carry no useful signal for a human reader, like embedded thumbnails and raw maker-note blobs, are left out. When GPS coordinates are present, they come with a ready-to-click OpenStreetMap link.

Can I remove the metadata before sharing a photo?

Yes. The “remove metadata” button re-encodes the image through the browser’s own canvas, which drops all EXIF data in the process, and gives you a clean copy to download with “-stripped” added to the file name. This is worth doing before posting a photo online if you’d rather not reveal the exact location it was taken, or the camera and settings behind it.

Does the photo get uploaded anywhere?

No. Reading and stripping metadata both happen entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded to a server, and no metadata is logged anywhere.

Check what a photo reveals before posting it online, confirm a camera’s settings after a shoot, or strip the location data from a picture before sending it to someone. For background on what EXIF stores, see the EXIF format overview on Wikipedia.
