About this tool

About EXIF Metadata Viewer

The EXIF Metadata Viewer reads a JPEG’s embedded metadata — camera make and model, exposure settings, date, orientation, and any GPS location — locally. It is for photographers and anyone checking what a photo reveals.

Photos can carry hidden data, including where they were taken. Reading it locally shows what is there without uploading the image.

  1. Drop a JPEG into the viewer.
  2. The EXIF metadata is read and listed.
  3. Review the camera, exposure, date, and any GPS details.
