EXIF Viewer

Open a photo here to see its EXIF data: the date taken, camera, lens, settings and GPS location. It reads JPG and HEIC photos right in your browser and never uploads them.

How to view EXIF data

  1. Choose a photo with the button above, or drag it onto the box. JPG and HEIC photos work, including .jpeg, .heif and .hif files.
  2. Read the details listed next to the photo. Lines only appear when the photo has that detail saved.
  3. Save a copy if you need one. If a location is saved, you can save a copy without it in one click.

Nothing is uploaded. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, and the page is only allowed to talk to this website. To check, load the page, turn on Airplane Mode, and convert: it still works. How it works shows the full proof. A photo with your home location in it should not go to a stranger's server just so you can read that location.

What the EXIF viewer shows

Detail What it means
Taken The date and time the photo was taken, with its time zone when the camera saved one
Camera and lens The phone or camera model, and which lens took the photo
Settings Aperture (f-number), shutter speed, ISO and focal length, when saved
Software The app or system version that last saved the file, when saved
Size Width and height in pixels, and megapixels (MP)
Colour Wide colour (Display P3) or standard sRGB, for HEIC photos
Location The GPS position as latitude and longitude, or "None saved in this photo"

EXIF is short for Exchangeable Image File Format. It is a block of details that cameras and phones write inside each photo. The viewer shows the details most people look for, not every one of the hundreds of possible tags.

How to see where a photo was taken

If the camera saved a location, the Location line shows it as two numbers, such as 40.74844, -73.98566. Copy them into the search box of any map app to see the place.

If it says "None saved in this photo", the location was never saved or was removed. Common reasons:

  • Location was off for the camera when the photo was taken.
  • The photo was sent through a chat app or posted online. Many apps remove the details from the copy they send.
  • It is a screenshot or an edited copy. These often have no camera details at all.

To check your own photos before you share them, open them here. To remove the location from many photos at once, use remove location from photo.

Questions

What is EXIF data?

Details saved inside a photo file by the camera or phone: the date and time, the camera and lens, the settings used, and often the GPS location.

Is my photo uploaded when I view its EXIF data?

No. The file is read inside your browser tab, on your own device. The page can only connect back to this website, and it keeps working with Airplane Mode on.

Can I see where a photo was taken?

Yes, if the camera saved a location. The Location line shows the latitude and longitude. If none was saved, the viewer says so. It cannot guess a place from what is in the picture.

Why does my photo show no EXIF data?

The details were never saved or were removed. Screenshots, edited copies, and photos saved from social media or chat apps often have none.

Can I view EXIF data on iPhone?

Yes. Open this page in Safari, tap the button and choose a photo. In the Photos app you can also swipe up on a photo to see the date, camera and a map.

Does it work with PNG files?

PNG files open and show their size, but most PNG files carry no camera details. For full EXIF, use the original JPG or HEIC photo.

How do I remove EXIF data?

Use the remove metadata tool to strip everything, or remove location from photo to drop only the GPS position.
