EXIF Viewer

This EXIF viewer shows the hidden information stored inside a photo. A summary lists the camera, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, flash, date taken, author and copyright. If the photo has GPS coordinates, you see them on a map with a Google Maps link. Below that, every tag is grouped as EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP or ICC, with a search box, and you can export it all as JSON or CSV. The file's SHA-256 hash and embedded thumbnail are shown too. Photographers check settings, journalists check where and when a picture was taken, and privacy-minded users check what a photo gives away. Remove all metadata, or only the location, from one photo or a batch. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use

01

Open a photo

Drop a JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP or TIFF file up to 100 MB, or paste an image with Ctrl+V. Photos straight from a camera or phone have the most metadata.

02

Read the summary and tags

Check the summary cards and the map, then pick a group such as EXIF, GPS or XMP, or type in Search all tags to filter the list.

03

Export or clean the file

Download the tags as JSON or CSV, or click Remove all metadata or Remove location only. To clean many photos, use Clean many photos at once.

Why EXIF Viewer

What EXIF data is and the tags that matter

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a block of information that cameras and phones write into each photo. It records how the picture was taken and, when location services are on, where. Most people never see it, but it travels with the file unless an app strips it. That is why a photo shared as a file, for example by email or in a cloud folder, can reveal where you live.

How to view EXIF data on your phone or computer

You do not always need a separate tool. Built-in apps show the basics, and this viewer shows everything, including tags those apps hide. Menu names change between app versions, so look for an info or details option if the steps below do not match exactly.

  • iPhone: open the photo in Photos and swipe up, or tap the info button, to see the camera, lens, settings and map.
  • Android: open the photo in Google Photos and swipe up, or tap the three-dot menu, to see details and location.
  • Windows: right-click the file, choose Properties, then the Details tab.
  • Mac: open the photo in Preview and choose Tools, then Show Inspector.
  • Any device: open the file here to see every tag by group, search them, export them, and view the GPS location on a map.

Common questions

How do I find where a photo was taken from its EXIF data?
Open the photo here. If the camera or phone saved GPS coordinates, they appear with the altitude, a map and an Open in Google Maps link. If it says no GPS location was found, the location was never recorded or was removed, which most social networks and messaging apps do.
Why does my photo show no EXIF data?
Many apps strip metadata when you share or upload a photo, including most social networks and messaging apps. Screenshots and images saved from websites usually have little or none. Try the original file straight from the camera or phone.
How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?
Click Remove all metadata. For a normal JPG, the metadata sections are cut out without re-compressing the image, so quality is unchanged. If the photo depends on a rotation flag, or is not a JPG, it is redrawn upright and saved without metadata. HEIC photos are saved as JPG.
Can I remove only the GPS location and keep the other EXIF data?
Yes, for JPG photos with a location. Click Remove location only. The GPS values are wiped and XMP location entries are dropped, while the camera, date and other tags stay, and the image data is not re-compressed.
How do I strip metadata from many photos at once?
Before opening a single photo, use Clean many photos at once, choose your files and click Remove metadata. Every photo is cleaned the same way as the single-photo button and the results download as one ZIP.
Can I view EXIF data from iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. The metadata in HEIC files is read directly, including camera, date and location, and the preview is decoded in the page so you can see the photo even in browsers that cannot show HEIC.
Can I export EXIF data to a spreadsheet?
Yes. CSV gives one row per tag with its group, name and value, which opens in Excel or Google Sheets. JSON groups the tags and adds the file name, size, date and SHA-256 hash, which suits scripts and records. Copy all tags puts a tab-separated list on the clipboard.
Can EXIF data be edited or faked?
Yes. EXIF is ordinary data inside the file and can be changed with editing tools, including our Geotag Photos tool. Treat EXIF as a helpful clue about a photo's origin, not as proof. If the embedded thumbnail differs from the photo, the image was probably edited after it was taken.
What is the difference between EXIF, XMP and IPTC metadata?
EXIF is written by the camera and holds technical details such as exposure and GPS. XMP is a newer format often written by editing software like Lightroom, and IPTC holds captions, keywords and copyright used by news agencies and stock sites. The viewer shows each group separately.
Does the EXIF viewer upload my photo?
No. The file is read in your browser. If the photo has GPS data, the embedded map loads tiles from OpenStreetMap for those coordinates, but the photo itself is never sent anywhere.
