📷 EXIF Viewer
View photo metadata: camera model, lens, exposure, GPS location, timestamp. Strip EXIF and download clean image.
About this tool
This tool inspects the EXIF metadata embedded in JPEG photos — the hidden data that cameras and phones write when you take a picture. It shows you the camera make and model, lens used, exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), GPS coordinates if the photo was geotagged, and the date and time it was captured.
It's useful when you want to see what metadata a photo carries before sharing it, verify shooting conditions, or extract GPS data from a picture. You can also strip all EXIF data and download a cleaned version — the image pixels stay exactly the same, but the hidden metadata is removed.
Example: open a photo taken with an iPhone 14 Pro in GPS mode and you'll see the camera model, a focal length of 6.76 mm, shutter speed of 1/60 s, ISO 50, and the GPS coordinates with a link to Google Maps. Click "Strip EXIF & Download" and the resulting file has identical image data but no camera or location information.
FAQ
What EXIF data can this tool read? ›
Standard JPEG EXIF tags: camera make and model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, flash, metering mode, date/time, GPS coordinates, orientation, software, program mode, and compression type.
Does this tool upload my photos? ›
No. Everything runs in your browser — the image stays on your device. Metadata is parsed from the raw bytes locally and the stripped image is downloaded as a new file on your computer.
Why does it only work with JPEG files? ›
EXIF metadata is stored inside JPEG files. PNG and WebP use different metadata formats (tEXt/iTXt chunks, not EXIF), and HEIC/HEIF require Apple-specific parsers not available in browsers. If you need to inspect a non-JPEG file, convert it to JPEG first.
How does stripping EXIF work? ›
The tool removes the APP1 segment (marker 0xFFE1) that contains the Exif header and all metadata. The JPEG image data (SOI, SOF, DQT, DHT, SOS, EOI segments) remains intact — only the metadata payload is gone.
