About the EXIF Metadata Viewer

Reads and displays a JPEG or TIFF photo's embedded EXIF metadata — camera details, exposure settings, timestamp and GPS location.

Photographers use it to check the exact settings behind a shot, while journalists and researchers use it to verify when and where a photo was taken before relying on it. This is one of several free image tools Toolapt offers, all usable without registering and without any limit on repeat use.

  • Reads camera make and model, exposure settings, timestamp and GPS coordinates in one pass
  • Works with both JPEG and TIFF files, the two formats that commonly carry EXIF data
  • Clearly reports when a photo has no EXIF metadata, rather than showing a blank result

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the EXIF Metadata Viewer.

What does the EXIF Viewer do?

It reads a JPEG or TIFF photo's embedded EXIF metadata — camera details, exposure settings, timestamp and GPS location if present — and displays it in an organized view.

Is the EXIF Viewer free to use?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it.

Is my photo safe when I use this tool?

Yes. Your photo is read and analyzed entirely on your own device — it's never uploaded to a server. This tool loads a small, well-known EXIF-reading library from this site the first time you use it, but that's the only thing fetched over the network — your photo never leaves your browser.

Why doesn't my photo show any EXIF data?

Screenshots never contain EXIF data, and many messaging apps, social networks and image editors strip it out when they resave a photo. If a photo shows nothing here, its EXIF metadata was likely never present or already removed.

Will this show me the exact GPS location a photo was taken at?

Only if the camera or phone that took it recorded GPS coordinates in the EXIF data and nothing has stripped them since — many phones do this by default unless location services were turned off.

Does this tool remove or change the photo's metadata?

No, it only reads and displays it. To strip metadata from a photo instead, use the separate EXIF Remover tool on this site.

Can I use the EXIF Viewer on my phone?

Yes. The page is fully responsive and works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers alike.

Does the EXIF Viewer have any limitations?

It reads the standard EXIF fields most cameras and phones write. Some manufacturer-specific or unusual metadata fields may not be shown.
