About this tool
Drop in a photo and see everything hiding in its metadata: camera make and model, capture time, exposure settings, editing software, and the full raw tag listing underneath, nothing filtered out. When the file carries a GPS position, the coordinates are decoded and linked to Google Maps, OpenStreetMap and Apple Maps so you can see exactly where the photo says it was taken. Reading is entirely local; only clicking a map link shares the coordinates with that service.
The viewer goes beyond the EXIF block. JPEGs often carry XMP packets, IPTC records and plain comments written by editing tools, and PNGs have their own text metadata; all of those are surfaced too, so a file is only ever reported as clean when it really is. Fractions like a 1/125 exposure are shown both raw and as decimals, and binary blobs such as maker notes are summarized by size instead of dumped as noise.
Checking a photo before posting it is the main use: metadata is invisible in every image viewer, yet a photo taken at home can carry your address in coordinate form. The file is parsed in your browser and never uploaded, and the companion EXIF Remover strips anything you find here without touching the image quality.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my photo uploaded to read its metadata?
- No. The file is parsed by JavaScript in your browser tab and never leaves your device. That matters here more than anywhere: EXIF can contain your home address in coordinate form.
- What can EXIF metadata reveal about me?
- Typically the camera or phone model, the exact capture time, the settings used, editing software, and sometimes the GPS position where the photo was taken. If you want it gone before sharing, the EXIF Remover here strips it without recompressing the image.
- Why does my photo show no metadata?
- Most messengers and social networks strip metadata on upload, so a photo that has been through WhatsApp or Instagram usually arrives clean. Screenshots and many exported images also carry little or none.
