About This Tool
The EXIF viewer focuses on photo capture information: camera and lens models, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, orientation, and location. Use Image Metadata Viewer for a broader view of the file’s information.
How to Use
- Choose or drop in a photo to read EXIF directly from the original file.
- Review the camera, lens, date, exposure, orientation, and GPS sections.
- Copy metadata JSON or numeric coordinates if needed.
- Before sharing a photo, use Remove Image Metadata below if you want to remove GPS or EXIF.
Supported Formats
- PNG, JPG/JPEG, and static WebP images are supported. Choose or drop in one image at a time.
- Files can be up to 100 MiB, 40 million pixels, and 16384 pixels on either side. Large images need more memory, so choose a size that works well on your device.
Understanding the Results
- When the corresponding fields exist, exposure may appear as 1/200 s, aperture as f/2.8, focal length as 50 mm, and sensitivity as ISO 100.
- EXIF orientation includes both its original value and a readable description: for example, 6 means rotate 90° clockwise. The preview uses the corrected orientation.
- GPS degrees, minutes, and seconds are converted to decimal degrees. South and west are negative. Altitude is shown above or below sea level according to its reference flag.
- No EXIF does not mean the image is damaged. PNGs, web images, and photos processed by sharing apps may not contain these records.
Understanding EXIF Fields
- Common fields include camera make and model, lens model, original capture time, exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length, and equivalent focal length.
- Flash, exposure program, metering mode, white balance, orientation, software, author, copyright, and GPS are shown when valid records are present.
- EXIF can be edited or removed, so it cannot prove that a photo is authentic. Missing fields are not used to guess the location or device.

FAQ
What is EXIF?
EXIF is a common image metadata format. It can store the device, time, exposure, orientation, and other details recorded when a photo was taken.
What information can EXIF contain?
Common details include camera and lens models, capture date, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, white balance, orientation, and GPS. The actual fields depend on the device and how the file was saved.
Do phone photos store GPS coordinates?
They can, depending on location permissions and camera settings when the photo was taken. Sharing apps may remove GPS, so check the current photo file to see what remains.
What is EXIF orientation?
It is a display-orientation tag that tells an image viewer whether to rotate or mirror a photo. This tool shows both the original value and a readable description, and the preview follows that orientation.
