Image Metadata Viewer

EXIF stores: camera make and model, lens model and focal length, aperture (f-number), shutter speed, ISO, date and time taken, GPS coordinates (lat/long/altitude), orientation, flash used, white balance, exposure program, metering mode. Raw EXIF can also contain photographer copyright and camera serial numbers.

Yes — for privacy. GPS data reveals exactly where a photo was taken, including your home if you photograph indoors with location on. Camera serial numbers can link photos to a specific device. Most social media (Instagram, Twitter/X) strips EXIF on upload — but some platforms and self-hosted images don't. Check before sharing directly.

EXIF: technical camera data written by the camera — exposure, GPS, timestamp. IPTC: editorial metadata — caption, keywords, creator, copyright, usage rights. XMP: Adobe's extensible platform used in Lightroom/Photoshop — can store both. Most JPEGs contain EXIF. This tool reads EXIF.

No — the viewer reads EXIF entirely in your browser using the FileReader API and a JavaScript EXIF parser. Your image is never sent to any server. This is critical for EXIF, which can contain your GPS location. Works offline once the page loads.
