EXIF Viewer

See what a photo is carrying besides the picture. Cameras and phones write a surprising amount into an image file: where it was taken, which device took it, when, and often what was done to it afterwards. Your file never leaves this page. Everything happens in your browser, and there is no upload endpoint to send it to — that is checked by a build gate that fails if any network code reaches a tool’s bundle.

How to do it

  1. Drop in a JPEG, PNG or WebP.
  2. Read what was found, grouped by what it is — location, camera, dates, creator, and anything the tool could not identify.
  3. If you want it gone, choose what to keep and remove the rest.

Questions

What is EXIF?

A block of data cameras write into an image file alongside the picture. It typically holds the date, the camera model, the exposure settings, and — on a phone with location services on — the coordinates the photo was taken at.

Why does it matter?

Because a photograph shared publicly carries all of it. Coordinates in a picture of your living room are a home address, and a camera serial number links every photo taken on that camera to every other one.

Do social networks already remove it?

Some do, some do not, and which is which changes without notice. This tool tells you what is in your file; it cannot tell you what any other company will do with it.

Is anything shown that came out of my file?

Yes — the values found are shown as plain text so you can read them. They are displayed and nothing else: never turned into a link, never run.
