See every readable metadata field hidden in a JPEG — camera settings, date, and GPS location
Most JPEG photos carry EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata embedded by the camera or phone that took them — details like the make and model of the device, when the photo was taken, the exposure settings used, and sometimes the exact GPS coordinates of where it was shot. This is useful for organizing a photo library or verifying authenticity, but it's also a common privacy surprise, since sharing an unedited photo can quietly reveal your location. This tool reads and displays every EXIF field it can find, entirely in your browser — the image is never uploaded to a server, so you can safely inspect even sensitive photos.
How to use it:
Tip: if you want to strip this metadata before sharing a photo, use the companion EXIF Data Remover tool.
Many platforms — including most messaging apps and social networks — strip EXIF data automatically when you upload or share a photo, for privacy and file-size reasons. If you downloaded the image from somewhere other than the original camera or phone, it's likely already been stripped.
This tool is built around JPEG's EXIF format specifically, since that's by far the most common format for camera photos with embedded metadata. PNG rarely carries EXIF in practice, and HEIC uses a different container format that this tool doesn't parse.
It reflects whatever the device recorded at the moment of capture, which is generally accurate to within a few meters on phones with GPS, but can be less precise on devices relying only on network-based location, or entirely absent on cameras without GPS hardware.
No. The file is read directly in your browser using the exif-js library, and the metadata is parsed and displayed locally — the image bytes never leave your device.
