About this tool
Every photo from a phone or camera carries a hidden block of metadata called EXIF: which camera and lens took it, the exposure settings, the exact time, the software that edited it, and often the GPS coordinates of where you were standing. This viewer reads all of it on your device and lays it out in plain language, with a map link when a location is present.
Use it to check what a photo reveals before you post it, to recover the settings behind a shot you like, or to find out when and where an old picture was taken. Nothing is uploaded, which is the point when the file contains your location.
How to use it
- Drop your JPG, PNG, HEIC or HEIF files into the box above, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded.
- Click the button and wait a moment.
- Download the results individually or all at once as a ZIP.
Questions
Why does my photo have no metadata?
Most social networks and messaging apps strip it on upload, and screenshots never had any. Photos straight from a camera or phone usually have plenty.
Does this remove the metadata?
No, it only shows it. Use the Remove EXIF tool to strip it before sharing.
Can I see metadata from HEIC iPhone photos?
Yes, HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and AVIF are supported.
Is it free, are files uploaded, which browsers work: the general questions are answered once for the whole site.
