EXIF Metadata Viewer — see what your photos reveal
Drop a photo to read the EXIF metadata hidden inside it — GPS location, camera, and timestamp — right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Everything runs in your browser. No data is uploaded or stored.
About this tool
A free, no-signup tool: A viewer that reads the EXIF metadata embedded in a photo so you can see exactly what it discloses before you share it.
Photos routinely carry the GPS coordinates where they were taken, the device that took them, and a precise timestamp. This tool parses that data out of the file in your browser and shows it plainly. If it finds GPS coordinates, it flags them, because a geotag on a photo taken at home is an address attached to your name.
The file never leaves your device — parsing happens locally.
How to use it
- Drop an image onto the box, or click to choose one (JPEG carries the most metadata).
- Read the fields found. GPS coordinates are highlighted if present.
- If you see location data you did not expect, strip it before publishing the photo.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read in your browser with the FileReader API and parsed locally. It is never sent to a server.
Why does my photo show no metadata?
Many platforms strip EXIF when you upload, so a downloaded copy is often clean. Originals straight from a camera or phone usually carry the most. PNG and screenshots rarely hold EXIF.
What should I do if it shows my location?
Strip the metadata before sharing. Most phones and operating systems can remove location on export, and turning off location for the camera app prevents it at the source.
