Free EXIF Metadata Viewer — See the Hidden Data in Photos

Every photo can carry EXIF metadata — hidden information your camera or phone embeds in the file: the GPS location where it was taken, the camera make and model, the date and time, and more. Upload an image below to see exactly what it reveals. Nothing is stored — the file is processed in your request and discarded.

What EXIF can reveal

  • GPS location — many phones tag photos with precise latitude/longitude. If present, we show it with a map link.
  • Camera / phone — make, model, and sometimes the lens.
  • Date & time — when the photo was originally taken.
  • Dimensions, orientation, editing software — technical details about the image.

Most social networks strip EXIF on upload, so photos saved from them often show no metadata — that's normal, and this tool will say so.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF metadata?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is data embedded inside an image by the device that captured it — camera settings, date/time, and often GPS coordinates. It travels with the file unless it is deliberately stripped.
Does my photo have location data?
If your phone's location tagging was on when you took the photo, it likely does. Upload it here: if GPS coordinates are present, this tool shows them with a map link. If not, it will say no location data was found.
How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?
On most phones you can disable location tagging in the camera settings, or share via an app that strips metadata. On a computer you can use the OS "remove properties" option, or re-save/screenshot the image. Sending a photo through most social platforms also strips EXIF.
Do you store the images I upload?
No. The image is processed in the request to read its metadata and is never written to disk or a database.
Why does my photo show no metadata?
The metadata was likely stripped — screenshots, images saved from social media, and many messaging apps remove EXIF. A blank result is normal and simply means there is nothing hidden to show.
