How does this tool work?
A photo taken with a phone or a camera often carries more information than you think: the device model, its settings, the exact date and sometimes the GPS position where it was taken. This reader shows that EXIF data along with the file's format, size and dimensions, so you can check what an image reveals before publishing it or find the settings of a successful shot.
Import a JPEG, PNG or WebP image. The Analyze tab first shows the file information: name, type, size, pixel dimensions and the modification date provided by your system.
The EXIF data section then reads the EXIF block of the original file, without decoding the image: camera make and model, lens, capture date, exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length, orientation, software, author, copyright, GPS position in decimal degrees and altitude. Only the fields present are shown; "No EXIF data in this file" appears when there are none.
The EXIF block is read from the APP1 segment of a JPEG, the eXIf chunk of a PNG or the EXIF chunk of a WebP. IPTC and XMP metadata and manufacturer-specific maker notes are not shown.
How to use this tool
Import the photo
Drop a JPEG, PNG or WebP image of up to 25 MB.
Read the information
Look at the file details, then at the EXIF data section in the Analyze tab.
Act if needed
If the photo contains a GPS position, remove the metadata with the dedicated tool before sharing it.
Reading EXIF values
EXIF stores many values as fractions or sexagesimal degrees, converted here to readable units.
Exposure time
t = 1 ÷ n s
A value of 0.004 s is shown as "1/250 s".
- d, m, s
- degrees, minutes and seconds recorded by the camera
- φ
- coordinate in decimal degrees
- n
- denominator of the fraction of a second
Use cases
Check before publishing
Make sure a photo taken at home does not contain its GPS position before posting it.
Recover settings
Read the aperture, exposure time and ISO of a successful shot to reproduce it.
Date an image
Find the capture date of a photo whose file name tells you nothing.
Examples
Photo taken in front of the Eiffel Tower
GPS coordinates are stored in degrees, minutes and seconds: 48° 51′ 29.6″ N becomes 48 + 51 ÷ 60 + 29.6 ÷ 3,600 = 48.858222. They point to the Champ de Mars, within a few metres.

Screenshots usually have no EXIF, and most messaging apps strip this data when they recompress the photos you send.

File information shown; "No EXIF data in this file"Tips and best practices
- Always open the original file: an image already cropped or converted by software has often lost its EXIF data.
- The modification date shown comes from your system, not from the camera: only the EXIF capture date tells when the photo was taken.
- A GPS position with six decimals locates a place to about 10 cm: keep that in mind before publishing a photo taken at home.
- EXIF data is easy to edit: it informs, but does not prove where an image came from.

Frequently asked questions
Which EXIF data is shown?
Camera make and model, lens, capture date, exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length, orientation, software, author, copyright, GPS coordinates and altitude, when present.
Why does my photo have no EXIF data?
It may be a screenshot, an export from software that strips metadata, or a file passed through a messaging app or social network that removes it.
Can PNG and WebP files contain EXIF?
They can (eXIf chunk for PNG, EXIF chunk for WebP), but it is rarer than for camera JPEGs.
Does the tool read IPTC and XMP?
No. It reads the EXIF block; IPTC captions and XMP data added by some software are not shown.
How do I remove this metadata?
Use the metadata remover: it re-encodes the image without EXIF, GPS or other metadata blocks.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The file bytes are read in your browser; neither the image nor its location leaves your device.
