Free EXIF Data Viewer
Every digital photo carries hidden metadata known as EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data. This includes details about the camera used, lens settings, date and time the photo was taken, GPS coordinates, and much more. Our free EXIF viewer lets you instantly inspect all of this metadata right in your browser, with zero uploads and complete privacy. Simply drop a photo into the tool above and explore the rich data embedded within your images.
What Data Can You Find?
EXIF data typically includes camera make and model, focal length, aperture (f-number), shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, flash status, metering mode, and the software used to process the image. Many cameras and smartphones also embed GPS coordinates, allowing you to see exactly where a photo was taken. This tool organizes all that information into clear, readable categories.
Privacy First
Your images are processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. No files are uploaded to any server, and no data leaves your device. This makes SmarterSources the most private way to inspect image metadata online.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing metadata in image files. When you take a photo with a digital camera or smartphone, the device automatically records information such as the camera model, lens settings, date and time, and sometimes GPS location. This data is embedded directly in the image file and can be read by compatible software and tools like this one.
Can I view GPS location from photos?
Yes, if GPS data is embedded in the image, this tool will display the latitude, longitude, and altitude. It also provides a convenient "View on Map" link that opens the location directly in Google Maps. Note that many social media platforms strip GPS data from uploaded photos for privacy reasons, so images downloaded from platforms like Instagram or Twitter may not contain location information.
Which image formats contain EXIF data?
EXIF data is most commonly found in JPEG and TIFF images captured by digital cameras and smartphones. Some newer formats like WebP and HEIC may also contain EXIF data. PNG files do not support the EXIF standard, though they can store other types of metadata. If an image has been processed, converted, or shared on social media, the EXIF data may have been stripped during the process.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your image never leaves your device. We do not store, transmit, or access your files in any way. This tool is 100% client-side.
