Why Use This Tool?
Ever wondered what camera took a photo, when it was shot, or whether it carries GPS coordinates? Drop a JPG here and read the full EXIF record — camera model, exposure settings, timestamps, software, and location.
It's also the fastest way to check what your own photos reveal before you post them. Screenshots and heavily edited images usually show 'no EXIF data,' which is exactly what you'd expect.
How It Works
- Drop a JPG photo straight from your camera or phone.
- Read the metadata table — camera, settings, dates, and software.
- If GPS exists, a map link shows exactly where the shot was taken.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data?
It's a metadata block cameras embed in photos: model, settings, date, sometimes GPS. It travels with the file unless something strips it.
Why does my photo show no EXIF data?
Social platforms, messaging apps, and editors commonly strip EXIF to protect privacy and shrink files. The original file from your camera will have it.
Is it safe to share photos with EXIF?
Think twice — GPS coordinates reveal where you took the shot. Check them here first, or strip metadata before posting publicly.
Can I view image EXIF data like shutter speed and ISO?
Yes — the table shows shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and focal length whenever the camera recorded them, alongside model and date.
Does this work as an EXIF metadata reader for PNG?
PNG files generally don't carry EXIF — the tool tells you when a file has no metadata instead of guessing.
Tips & Things to Watch
- Check photos before uploading them anywhere public — location data is easy to forget.
- Lens and exposure fields are gold when you're trying to match a photo's look.
- Only JPGs and some TIFFs carry EXIF; PNG and WebP generally don't.
