How it works
Read the camera settings
Aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length and more.
Check for a GPS location
A link to the exact spot on a map, if the photo has one.
What's hiding inside a photo file
Beyond the pixels, most photos carry a block of metadata called EXIF: technical details the camera recorded at the moment of the shot, and sometimes information about the photographer or where the photo was taken. None of it is visible in the picture itself, but it travels with the file everywhere it goes, including if you share or upload it.
Camera and exposure settings
The camera make and model, the lens used, and the exact exposure settings — aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length — are usually the first things worth checking, especially useful for understanding how a shot you like was taken.
GPS location
Many phones tag photos with the exact coordinates of where they were taken. If this photo has one, it's shown here with a link straight to that spot on a map — worth knowing about before sharing a photo publicly, since it can reveal a home address or other private location.
Everything else
Beyond the highlights, every other EXIF field found in the file is listed too, for anyone who wants the complete picture rather than just the summary.
Want it gone instead?
This tool only reads and displays the data; to remove it from a photo before sharing, use the remove EXIF data tool.
Why this matters before sharing a photo
A photo that looks perfectly anonymous can still carry the exact device it came from, the software that last touched it, or a precise location — details that aren't visible to the eye but are sitting right there in the file for anyone who knows to look for them.
Privacy
Your photo is read entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
A block of metadata most photos carry alongside their pixels: camera and lens details, exposure settings, the date taken, and sometimes a GPS location.
Can I see where a photo was taken?
If the photo has GPS data, its coordinates are shown with a link to that location on a map.
Why does it say no EXIF data was found?
Some images never had EXIF data to begin with, and many apps and social networks strip it out automatically when a photo is shared or uploaded.
Can I remove this data instead of just viewing it?
Yes, use the remove EXIF data tool to strip it out of a photo before sharing it.
Does this work with formats other than JPG?
Yes, most common photo formats that support EXIF are read, though JPG from a camera or phone is the most common case.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens entirely in your browser.
