EXIF Viewer

Shows what a photo is quietly carrying — the camera, the timestamp, and whether it is broadcasting the exact spot it was taken.

Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded

Your photo

JPEGs from a phone or camera carry the most.

Your file never leaves this device. The whole operation runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded, queued on a server, or deleted later, because nothing was ever sent.

What the file says about you, not the picture

EXIF travels with a photo everywhere it goes. The camera model and settings are harmless and useful. The timestamp, the serial number and above all the coordinates are not, and almost nobody knows they are there until something goes wrong.
Why use it

Built to be genuinely useful

Location shown first

If the file carries GPS coordinates, that is the finding that matters, so it is at the top with a map link.

Readable names, not tag numbers

Camera make, model, date taken and exposure, rather than a dump of hex identifiers.

Every metadata block sized

See what else is in the file — colour profiles, Photoshop blocks, comments — and how much space each takes.

Nothing is uploaded

The file is read in your browser. A tool that inspects your private metadata should not be collecting it.

How it works

Three steps

  1. 1

    Choose a photo — JPEGs from a phone or camera carry the most.

  2. 2

    Read the location warning first, if one appears.

  3. 3

    Use the Metadata Remover to strip it before sharing.

The coordinates are the part that matters

Camera make, lens and exposure settings are harmless and often interesting. The GPS coordinates are neither. A phone with location services on writes the position into every photo it takes, frequently accurate to within a few metres, and that data travels with the file everywhere it goes.

For a photo taken at home, those coordinates are your address. For one taken at a school gate or a workplace, they are a pattern of where you are and when. Nothing announces it, and nobody is prompted about it — the file simply carries it.

This is not theoretical. People have been located from photos posted to forums and marketplace listings, and the sale of a second-hand item with a photo taken in the living room is a routine example. Checking before you share costs a few seconds.

Where metadata survives and where it does not

Most large social platforms strip EXIF on upload — Facebook, Instagram, X and WhatsApp all remove it, partly for privacy and partly for file size. That is why a photo received on WhatsApp shows nothing here while the original on the sender's phone shows everything.

What does not strip it: email attachments, cloud storage links, direct file transfers, most forums, marketplace listings and personal websites. Those are the routes where a photo arrives with everything intact, and they are common ones.

Note that a stripped copy on a platform does not mean the platform did not read it. Removing metadata from what is served to other users and retaining it internally are different things.
