EXIF data (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in image files that records how and when a photo was taken. It can include camera make, lens type, shutter speed, GPS location, and more. This data helps photographers, analysts, and investigators understand the context of an image.

Yes, you can view image metadata without uploading. This EXIF viewer tool runs entirely in your browser and processes the photo locally. Your image never leaves your device, making it a secure, private way to check metadata online with zero file transfers or storage.

If GPS data is embedded in the photo’s metadata, the tool will display the exact coordinates. You may also see a clickable link to view the location on a map. Not all photos contain GPS info, but when available, it’s shown clearly and instantly after upload.

Sometimes. EXIF data may reveal if an image was modified, including software used (like Photoshop) or edited timestamps. While metadata alone doesn’t prove an edit, it can provide clues about whether the file has been altered or saved multiple times.

No, not all images retain metadata. Some photos are stripped of EXIF data when compressed, edited, or uploaded to social media platforms. Others may never store metadata if created with privacy settings enabled. This tool shows available data, but absence is common and not always suspicious.

This tool currently supports:

• JPG / JPEG

• PNG

• WebP

• HEIC (from newer iPhones)
  Additional file types may be added in future updates. All supported formats are processed directly in your browser without uploads.
