EXIF Metadata Viewer
See the metadata most commonly hidden inside a photo before you share it — camera details, timestamps, and GPS location if present.
Found something you’d rather not share? Use the metadata remover to strip it before sending or posting the photo.
Frequently asked questions
- What metadata can be hidden in a photo?
- Most photos from a phone or camera carry EXIF metadata: the camera and lens model, the exact date and time the photo was taken, exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length), the software used to edit it, and — if location services were on — the precise GPS coordinates of where it was taken, accurate enough to identify a specific address.
- Is my photo uploaded anywhere to check this?
- No. This tool reads the file entirely inside your browser using a JavaScript EXIF parser — the photo itself is never sent to a server.
- Why doesn't my photo show any metadata?
- Some platforms strip EXIF metadata automatically when you upload or send a photo through them, specifically because of the privacy risk — though which platforms do this, and how completely, varies and changes over time, so don't treat a blank result here as proof a photo never had metadata. If you download a photo from elsewhere, or if the original camera/phone had location services disabled, there may genuinely be nothing left to find. A screenshot also has no camera EXIF data, since it wasn't taken by a camera.
