Open toolEXIF Reader — Photo Metadata Viewer
Almost every photo carries a hidden diary: the camera or phone that took it, the lens and exposure settings, the exact date and time, and often the GPS coordinates of where you were standing. That data is called EXIF, and this free EXIF reader shows it to you. Open a JPG or TIFF photo and you will see its camera make and model, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, date taken, image size and — when present — a map link for the stored location. Photographers use it to learn from their settings; sellers use it to prove a photo is original; anyone sharing photos online should know it exists before posting. The file is read locally in your browser and never uploaded — essential for a tool whose whole point is privacy.
How to use this tool
- Choose a JPG photo straight from a camera or phone.
- Read the metadata table: camera, settings, date and size.
- Check the GPS line — with a map link when coordinates exist.
- Decide whether the file is safe to share as-is.
Worked example
A phone photo reveals the exact handset model, the time it was taken and a GPS pin within metres of the house — worth knowing before posting it publicly.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data, and what does it usually contain?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata written into a photo by the camera or phone at the moment of capture. Typical fields include the device make and model, lens, shutter speed, aperture (f-number), ISO, flash, focal length, the date and time, and image dimensions. Phones with location services on also store GPS latitude and longitude. Editing apps may add software names and modification dates of their own.
Why does my photo show "no EXIF data found"?
Several common reasons: screenshots and images saved from most social media and messaging apps have EXIF stripped out (platforms remove it on upload); PNG and WebP files carry little or no classic EXIF; and photos exported with "remove metadata" options are cleaned deliberately. A photo taken on a phone and transferred directly — by cable, email as an attachment, or cloud original — usually keeps its full EXIF.
Can EXIF data be a privacy risk when I share photos?
Yes — mainly the GPS coordinates, which can reveal your home address from a photo taken in your living room, plus the exact time pattern of your days. Before posting photos publicly, check them here; if they carry location data, share through platforms that strip metadata, or export a copy with location removed. For marketplace listings the opposite can be true: intact EXIF with a matching camera and date is evidence the photo is genuinely yours.
Does this tool store or send my photo anywhere?
No. The photo is parsed on your own device by an open-source EXIF library loaded into the page; the file itself is never transmitted, and nothing about it is saved when you close the tab. That matters: an EXIF viewer that uploaded your photo to a server would itself become the privacy problem it is meant to check.
