Drop any photo to view its metadata
JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, AVIF. Your file never leaves this device.
Every photo taken on a smartphone or digital camera automatically records this data.
GPS coordinates
Exact latitude and longitude where the photo was taken. Can be accurate to within a few metres.
Camera and device
Make, model and serial number of the camera or phone used. Identifies your specific device.
Date and time
The exact moment the photo was taken, down to the second. Can reveal your schedule and routines.
Lens settings
Aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length and flash status at the moment of capture.
Software
Editing apps used on the image. Can reveal Photoshop, Lightroom, Instagram or other tools.
Author and copyright
Photographer name and copyright fields, if set by the camera or editing software.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is hidden metadata embedded in digital photos. It records information including the camera make and model, lens settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), the exact date and time the photo was taken, GPS coordinates, and software used to edit the image. All smartphones and digital cameras automatically record this data.
Yes. If your phone or camera had GPS enabled when you took the photo, the exact latitude and longitude coordinates are stored in the EXIF data. Anyone who downloads the image can read these coordinates and pinpoint the location. This is a significant privacy risk when sharing photos publicly. This tool highlights GPS data with a warning and lets you remove it.
No. EXIF data is stored separately from the pixel data. Removing it does not change any visual aspect of the image. The clean file looks identical to the original. The file size may be slightly smaller since the metadata block is removed.
The image is drawn onto an HTML canvas element and re-exported as a new JPEG or PNG file. The canvas API only outputs raw pixel data — it has no mechanism to preserve or copy EXIF metadata. This is the same technique used by the most privacy-focused browser-based tools.
No. Your image is read and processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet — the tool still works completely.
JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF and AVIF are all supported for metadata reading. JPEG images contain the most comprehensive EXIF data. PNG files typically contain less EXIF but may include metadata from editing software. HEIC files from iPhone contain full EXIF including GPS.
