EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard that defines how metadata is stored inside image files. The following fields are read and displayed when present. Not all fields will be in every image, since different cameras and phones record different data.
Location
Camera
Exposure
Date and time
Image
Author and software
Photo archiving and cataloging
Extracting date, camera and location data to organise large photo archives, build timelines, or import into photo management software.
Verifying photo authenticity
Checking whether a photo's claimed date and location match the EXIF data. Useful for journalism, legal proceedings and content verification.
Privacy audit before sharing
Checking exactly what location and device data is embedded in a photo before sharing or publishing it publicly.
Learning photography
Reviewing the exact aperture, shutter speed and ISO from a well-exposed shot to understand what settings produced a particular result.
Recovering photo metadata
Reading date and location from old photos to fill in gaps in a family album, travel diary, or personal archive.
Software and app development
Testing EXIF parsing in apps by verifying what data a real photo contains before writing parsing logic for it.
You can extract GPS coordinates and altitude, camera make and model, lens model and focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure mode and metering mode, date and time the photo was taken, flash status, white balance, software used to edit the image, image dimensions, color space, resolution in DPI, and author and copyright fields if set.
EXIF data can be absent for several reasons. The photo may have been processed through a platform like Instagram or Twitter that strips metadata before delivering the file. Someone may have removed the metadata using a tool like this one before sharing. The image may have been created digitally (illustrations, screenshots, generated images) rather than captured with a camera. PNG files from certain applications also frequently contain no EXIF data.
Yes. After loading a photo, click Copy as JSON to copy the full raw EXIF data to your clipboard as a JSON object. You can paste this into a text editor, a spreadsheet, a database, or any tool that works with JSON. This is useful for cataloging photo archives, verifying metadata programmatically, or forensic analysis.
Yes. HEIC files from iPhone and iPad are fully supported. iPhone HEIC photos contain rich EXIF data including GPS, camera model, lens settings, and Apple-specific metadata. Drop the HEIC file directly into the tool.
No. Your photo is read entirely in your browser using the exifr library, which parses EXIF data locally without any server communication. Nothing is sent anywhere. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
EXIF data provides useful signals for authenticity analysis but it is not conclusive proof. Metadata can be edited or fabricated using freely available tools. The absence of EXIF data does not mean a photo is manipulated. For forensic purposes, EXIF data is one indicator among many, not definitive evidence.
