What is EXIF Metadata?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard that embeds metadata inside digital photos. When you take a photo with a camera or smartphone, it records details like camera model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, GPS coordinates, and timestamp. This EXIF viewer extracts all that data so you can inspect, export, or remove it.
Common EXIF Fields
- Camera Information — Make, model, lens, aperture (f/stop), shutter speed, ISO, flash, white balance
- GPS Coordinates — Latitude, longitude, altitude, direction — viewable on an interactive map
- Date & Time — When the photo was taken, digitized, and modified
- Image Characteristics — Dimensions, resolution, orientation, color space
- Copyright & Author — Copyright holder, artist name, description

Privacy Warning
EXIF data can reveal sensitive information that you may not intend to share. GPS coordinates embedded in photos taken at your home address, workplace, or children's school can compromise personal privacy and physical security. Camera serial numbers can be used to trace images back to your device. Timestamps can reveal your daily routines and travel patterns.
Before sharing photos online, use the Strip EXIF & Download feature above to remove all embedded metadata from your images.
Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, and HEIF/HEIC. JPEG files typically contain the most complete EXIF data.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All EXIF extraction happens locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device.
Why does my image show no metadata?
Screenshots, images downloaded from the web, and photos processed by some editing software often have EXIF data stripped. Only original camera photos typically contain full metadata.
Can I remove EXIF metadata from my images?
Yes. Click the Strip EXIF & Download button to download a copy of your image with all metadata removed. The image is re-encoded using Canvas API, which automatically strips all embedded EXIF data.
What is the maximum file size?
This tool supports images up to 20MB. Larger files may cause browser performance issues.
What do aperture, shutter speed, and ISO mean?
Aperture (f-number) controls how much light enters the lens. Shutter speed controls how long the sensor is exposed. ISO controls the sensor's sensitivity to light. Together, these three settings determine the exposure of your photo.
