EXIF Viewer

Overview

The EXIF viewer reads the metadata embedded inside image files — camera model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, shooting time, and GPS coordinates — and displays every available tag. It supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, AVIF, WebP, and GIF. Everything runs locally in your browser; no image is uploaded to any server.

What EXIF fields are actually readable

The tool extracts all tags present in the file. Commonly found ones:

  • Camera: Make, Model, LensModel
  • Exposure: FNumber (aperture), ExposureTime (shutter), ISO, FocalLength, ExposureBiasValue
  • Time: DateTimeOriginal (when the shutter fired), DateTime (file modification time)
  • GPS: Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, ImgDirection (compass bearing) — only present if location was enabled when shooting
  • Image: PixelXDimension/PixelYDimension, ColorSpace, Orientation (rotation flag)
  • Copyright: Artist, Copyright
  • Manufacturer-specific tags: Canon, Nikon, Sony Makernotes contain additional fields not defined by the EXIF standard

Format differences in EXIF coverage

Full EXIF support

  • JPEG — most complete; the format cameras write natively
  • HEIC/HEIF — iPhone default format; full EXIF including GPS
  • TIFF — professional photography format; complete metadata

Partial or format-dependent

  • PNG — stores metadata in tEXt/iTXt chunks, but camera EXIF is usually absent
  • WebP — can include an EXIF block; depends on how the file was created or converted
  • AVIF — supports metadata; content varies by encoder
  • GIF — only basic metadata

Checking for GPS before sharing a photo

Smartphone photos almost always contain precise GPS coordinates. Before posting to a public site or sending to someone you don't trust, drop the file here to check whether location data is present. The GPS Latitude and Longitude fields will appear in the results if coordinates are embedded.

Copying all extracted data

After extraction, the "Copy all data" button in the top-right corner copies every field as plain text to the clipboard. This is useful for logging camera settings across a batch of photos or sharing the full metadata with someone else.
