Location metadata
GPS coordinates, altitude, map previews, and location hints when a photo contains position data.

EXIF Viewer: check photo metadata before you share
Choose a JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or WebP image to check GPS coordinates, camera details, timestamps, PNG text chunks, WebP EXIF/XMP, and raw metadata. This online EXIF viewer reads everything locally in your browser.

Three-step privacy check
How to check EXIF metadata online
Use the viewer before you post, send, sell, or archive a photo. It shows only the metadata that is present and leaves the original file unchanged.
- 1
Choose a supported photo
Select one JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or WebP image. The browser reads the file locally without uploading it.
- 2
Review the embedded details
Check the grouped location, camera, capture, image, and raw metadata fields that were actually found.
- 3
Keep it or create a clean copy
Retain useful photography details, inspect any GPS finding more closely, or remove supported metadata before sharing.
EXIF viewer, reader, or extractor?
People use all three names for tools that inspect embedded photo metadata. This viewer reads and groups the values in your image. It does not create a separate metadata export, change the original file, or prove where a photo was taken when GPS is absent.
What the viewer can and cannot do
The viewer checks supported metadata containers in JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and WebP files. It cannot infer deleted fields, detect every visible privacy risk, or remove anything by inspection alone. Use the location tool for a focused GPS review or create a clean copy before sharing.
Structured output
50+ metadata fields, grouped for actual review
The viewer separates location, device, capture, image, and raw metadata so you can understand what a photo carries without reading a wall of technical tags.
Camera details
Camera make, model, lens, serial-adjacent values, firmware, and software fields.
Capture settings
ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, flash, exposure mode, and color information.
Timestamps
Original capture dates, edit dates, timezone clues, and file chronology embedded in the image.
Private inspection
Read metadata without uploading the photo
The EXIF viewer parses metadata in your browser. Your original file stays on your device while you decide what to remove or share.
Viewer mode
Use the viewer when you need to understand what is inside a file before publishing, selling, verifying, or archiving it.
It is useful for privacy checks, photography review, documentation, and image verification workflows.
Need a clean copy?
Open the EXIF remover to strip GPS, device, and timestamp metadata while keeping the visible image intact.

Who uses an EXIF metadata viewer?
Anyone who shares, publishes, verifies, or manages photos can benefit from seeing hidden metadata before the file leaves their device.
Everyday users
Check what a photo reveals before you post, send, or sell it online.
Journalists
Inspect capture details and location context before publishing or verifying images.
Photographers
Review old shoots and learn from camera settings that produced strong images.
Teams
Support legal, HR, compliance, and publishing workflows with local metadata review.
Why inspect EXIF metadata first?
Image files can carry more than the visible picture. Supported metadata may include GPS coordinates, camera bodies, lenses, editing software, capture times, orientation, PNG text chunks, WebP EXIF/XMP chunks, thumbnails, and technical image details.
Viewing that data first helps you make a better privacy decision. You can keep useful photography notes, verify image context, or remove sensitive fields before sharing the file publicly.
EXIF viewer questions
What to know before checking a photo
Clear answers about supported files, privacy, inspection limits, and what happens to the original image.
What metadata fields does the EXIF Viewer show?
The metadata viewer displays location data, camera details, timestamps, capture settings, image dimensions, PNG text/eXIf chunks, WebP EXIF/XMP chunks, and raw JSON metadata when those fields are embedded in a supported image.
Is the EXIF Viewer private?
Yes. Metadata is read locally in your browser. Your photo is not uploaded to a server.
Does viewing EXIF metadata modify my photo?
No. The viewer only reads metadata. Use the EXIF remover to create a clean copy with metadata stripped.
Is an EXIF viewer the same as an EXIF reader or extractor?
These terms usually describe the same inspection task. This tool reads and groups embedded metadata so you can review it; it does not extract a separate metadata file or modify the original photo.
Which image formats can I check for EXIF metadata?
You can inspect JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and WebP files. The fields available depend on what the image contains and what its format supports.
