EXIF Viewer
View common JPEG EXIF metadata such as camera model, date, exposure, ISO, focal length and GPS locally in your browser.
🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploadedView EXIF metadata without uploading
Digital cameras and phones often save extra information inside JPEG files. This information is called EXIF metadata, and it can include the camera maker, model, capture date, exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length and sometimes GPS coordinates. This EXIF viewer reads those common fields directly in your browser so you can inspect a photo before publishing, archiving or sending it to someone else.
The tool is intentionally client-side. When you drop a file, the page reads the JPEG bytes with the File API, searches for an APP1 EXIF block and parses the TIFF image file directories that contain standard tags. Nothing is uploaded and the image is not modified. That makes it useful for checking private photos, client assets or location-sensitive images where you only need to know what metadata is present.
What metadata can appear?
The fields available depend on the camera, phone and app that created the file. A typical camera JPEG may include Make, Model, DateTime, Exposure, FNumber, ISO and FocalLength. A phone photo may also include GPS latitude and longitude if location saving was enabled. Social networks, messaging apps and export tools often strip metadata for privacy or file-size reasons, so a copy downloaded from the web may show fewer fields than the original from the camera roll.
Privacy and limitations
EXIF can reveal more than expected, especially location and capture time. Review metadata before sharing sensitive images publicly. This viewer covers common JPEG EXIF tags and is designed for a quick privacy and camera-info check, not for every proprietary maker note. PNG files usually do not contain standard EXIF metadata, and some newer formats store metadata differently. If no data appears, it may have been removed, stored in a nonstandard place or never written to the file.
What this tool does and does not do
The viewer lists the common fields it finds: Make, Model, DateTime, ISO, exposure time, f-number, focal length and, when present, GPS coordinates. It only reads metadata; it does not edit or remove it. If you want to share a photo without its embedded data, re-saving the image through a canvas-based tool such as the resizer or a format converter on this site writes only pixels, so the original EXIF block is not carried over. Always check the new file afterwards by dropping it back into the viewer.
