    What is EXIF data?

    EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is standardized metadata automatically embedded into image files by cameras and smartphones at the moment a photo is taken. It captures everything from camera settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) and timestamps to the GPS coordinates of where the shot was taken — invisible to the naked eye, but full of information.

    Frequently asked questions

    Everything you need to know about reading photo metadata.

    Is my image uploaded to a server when I use this tool?+
    No. The EXIF viewer reads metadata entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your photo never leaves your device and is never transmitted to any server. You can even use the tool offline once the page has loaded.
    What image formats are supported?+
    JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and HEIC are all supported. JPEG and TIFF carry the richest EXIF metadata. PNG and WebP carry less by default but we read whatever is present.
    What is EXIF data exactly?+
    EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a metadata standard automatically embedded into image files by digital cameras and smartphones. It records camera settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed), date and time, GPS coordinates, the device used, and often copyright or author information.
    Can I remove EXIF data after viewing it?+
    Yes. Use the "Strip metadata" button after loading an image to download a clean copy with all EXIF, GPS, and copyright fields removed. The original file on your device is never modified.
    Why does my photo not show GPS coordinates?+
    Your camera or phone may have location services disabled, or the platform you received the file from (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook) automatically strips GPS data when re-saving. Original camera files almost always retain GPS if location was enabled.
    Can I export the metadata as a file?+
    Yes. After loading an image, click "Download TXT" or "Download CSV" to save the full metadata for record-keeping, court evidence, or workflow integration.
    Is there a file size limit?+
    No hard limit. Because everything runs in your browser, the only constraint is your device memory. Phones handle 10–20 MP photos comfortably; desktops handle 100+ MP files.
    Will this work for RAW camera files like CR2, NEF, or ARW?+
    Limited. RAW files store EXIF in a manufacturer-specific container that varies by brand. We extract what we can, but for full RAW metadata we recommend ExifTool on desktop. JPEG previews from your RAW workflow work perfectly.
