EXIF Viewer
Read every EXIF tag from a JPEG: camera and lens, shutter / aperture / ISO, exposure mode, focal length, white balance, date taken, software used, IPTC fields, GPS coordinates with a link to OpenStreetMap, and more. Use Strip EXIF & download to re-encode the image with metadata removed — perfect before sharing online.
Photos are parsed and re-encoded entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use this exif viewer
- Drop or click to upload a JPG (most cameras, including phones, embed EXIF).
- Read tags grouped by Camera, Lens, Exposure, Date, GPS and more.
- If GPS is present, click 'View on OpenStreetMap' to see where it was taken.
- Click Strip EXIF & download to get a clean copy without metadata.
- Copy the parsed data as JSON or CSV for your records.
Frequently asked questions
Why should I strip EXIF before posting photos?
EXIF can include GPS coordinates, exact device serial numbers, and editing software. Many platforms strip it on upload, but not all — strip it yourself to be sure.
Why is no EXIF found in my PNG / WebP / screenshot?
PNGs and WebPs rarely carry EXIF. Screenshots almost never do. EXIF is most common in JPGs from cameras and phones.
How does stripping work?
The image is decoded into a canvas and re-encoded — that process never preserves EXIF. The result is byte-identical pixels, no metadata.
Why does my photo still have GPS data even after I 'shared' it through iCloud?
iCloud Photo Sharing preserves EXIF including GPS — only certain Mail and Messages workflows on iOS strip it. AirDrop, iCloud Drive, WhatsApp 'Document' send and most cloud syncs keep the full EXIF. If you don't want your home GPS in shared photos, strip it explicitly before sharing.
