EXIF Data Viewer
Inspect camera, lens, and GPS metadata embedded in your photos.
Photos can embed GPS coordinates that reveal where they were taken. Data stays in your browser — take care if you share or screenshot the results.
About EXIF Data Viewer
EXIF Data Viewer reads the metadata embedded in a photograph — camera make and model, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, date and time taken, white balance, and any GPS coordinates the camera or phone wrote into the file. Photographers use EXIF to study their own settings; investigators use it to extract location data; everyone uses it to remember what gear was on a particular shoot.
Worked example: drop in a JPEG from an iPhone and the viewer typically shows the make and model (Apple iPhone 15 Pro), the focal length and aperture for that lens (24 mm, f/1.78), the ISO and shutter (ISO 64 at 1/240 s), and — if location services were on — a GPS coordinate that opens directly in a map. The same works for HEIC files from iPhones and JPEG, TIFF, or HEIF from dedicated cameras.
Two things worth flagging. First, EXIF GPS is the privacy concern most people miss: a photo shared casually can reveal exactly where it was taken (home address, school, hotel) unless the platform strips EXIF or you do it yourself before sharing. Second, EXIF is optional — many platforms (most social networks and messaging apps) strip it on upload to protect users, so a photo saved from a website or sent through a chat app may have no EXIF at all. That is not a tool failure, just the file genuinely having no metadata to read.
Reading runs entirely in your browser via the exifr library. The image and its metadata never leave your device, which is exactly what you want when checking your own photos for embedded GPS before sharing.
