EXIF Viewer

Image

Read camera make/model, orientation, timestamps, exposure settings, and GPS coordinates directly from a JPEG's EXIF data

Drop in a JPEG and see the camera make and model, when the shot was taken, the exposure settings the camera used, and GPS coordinates if the photo was geotagged, all read straight from the file's EXIF tags. This walks the TIFF IFD structure inside the JPEG's APP1 segment directly, the same structural data a photo viewer reads, so nothing is decoded or rendered and the file never has to be a valid displayable image. It only supports JPEG, since that is where EXIF normally lives: Image Info is the sibling tool for basic format and dimension info across PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP too. Because photos exported from messaging apps or social platforms are frequently stripped of EXIF entirely for privacy, an empty result here is common and does not mean the file is corrupt.

How to use EXIF Viewer

  • 1.Drop a JPEG straight out of a camera or phone to see its make, model, timestamp, exposure settings, and GPS location if present.
  • 2.Check whether a photo still carries GPS coordinates before sharing it publicly, since many platforms strip EXIF on upload but a locally saved copy may not.
  • 3.Use it to confirm the exact aperture, ISO, and focal length a shot was taken at when comparing settings across a batch of photos.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say no EXIF data was found?
Many apps and platforms strip EXIF on save or upload for privacy, and screenshots or edited images often never had any to begin with, so this is common and doesn't mean the file is broken.
Does this work on PNG or HEIC files?
No, only JPEG is supported since that's where EXIF normally lives in the format this tool expects. Use Image Info for basic format and dimension info on PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No, the file is read and parsed entirely in your browser using the File API, nothing leaves your machine.
Does it read every EXIF tag that exists?
No, it reads the commonly useful ones (camera make/model, orientation, timestamps, exposure settings, GPS), not the full EXIF tag set, which includes many more obscure fields.
