EXIF viewer
I built this page to show what a photo gives away. Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP picture and I list the camera, the dates and the GPS location if the file has one.
Your photo stays on your device. JPG, PNG and WebP work.
How it works, and what stays on your device
I read the file in your browser with a small parser I wrote, so the picture is never uploaded and the page makes no request that carries it.
EXIF is the block of details a camera or phone writes into a photo: the device, the settings, the time and sometimes the exact place. I show it as it is stored, with the standard tag names. Text and comment entries, and the size of any other metadata block, are listed too.
I show an XMP block only as a size, because I do not decode it. To delete all of this from a file, use my metadata remover.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is read in your browser and never leaves your device. I do not receive it, and the page makes no request that carries it.
Why does the GPS location matter?
GPS coordinates point to where the photo was taken, which can be a home or a workplace. Phones and cameras can add them, and anyone who receives the original file can read them. Remove the metadata before you share a photo.
Which formats can I check?
JPG, PNG and WebP. I do not read AVIF or HEIC files.
Why does my photo show no metadata?
Screenshots have none, and many apps and sites remove it when you send or upload a picture. The file may also have been cleaned before it reached you.
