What is the Image Metadata Viewer?

The Image Metadata Viewer reads everything a photo reveals about itself: file name, format, size, pixel dimensions, aspect ratio and megapixels, plus the EXIF data embedded by cameras and phones — camera make and model, capture date, orientation, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length and even GPS coordinates when present.

  • Reads camera make, model, date taken and orientation from EXIF
  • Shows ISO, shutter speed, aperture and focal length
  • Detects embedded GPS latitude and longitude
  • Displays dimensions, megapixels, aspect ratio and file size
  • Works with JPEG EXIF; basic details for PNG, WebP and more
  • 100% local — photos are never uploaded anywhere

How to use the Image Metadata Viewer

  1. 1

    Drop a JPEG or other image into the upload area.

  2. 2

    Review the basic file details: type, size, dimensions, aspect ratio and megapixels.

  3. 3

    Scroll the EXIF table for camera, exposure and date information.

  4. 4

    If GPS coordinates are embedded, they are listed so you know what location the file exposes.

About the Image Metadata Viewer

The Image Metadata Viewer reads everything a photo reveals about itself: file name, format, size, pixel dimensions, aspect ratio and megapixels, plus the EXIF data embedded by cameras and phones — camera make and model, capture date, orientation, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length and even GPS coordinates when present.

Photographers use it to check shooting settings, editors use it to verify capture dates, and privacy-conscious users use it to see exactly what location data a photo would leak before sharing it online.

The EXIF parser runs entirely in your browser — the file is read locally with JavaScript and never uploaded, so it is safe to inspect personal photos, client work and unpublished images.

Frequently asked questions

How do I view the EXIF data of a photo?

Upload the photo to this viewer and the EXIF table appears instantly — camera model, date taken, ISO, shutter speed, aperture and more. No software install is needed; it works in any modern browser.

Can a photo reveal where it was taken?

Yes. Phones embed GPS latitude and longitude in EXIF by default unless location tagging is off. This tool shows those coordinates if present, so you can check what a photo exposes before posting it publicly.

Why does my image show no EXIF data?

Most social networks, messaging apps and screenshot tools strip EXIF when processing images. PNG screenshots and exported graphics typically never had EXIF. Only originals straight from a camera or phone usually keep full metadata.

Is it safe to check private photos here?

Yes. The file is parsed byte-by-byte in your own browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored on any server, making it safe for personal and confidential images.

What is EXIF orientation?

Orientation is a flag telling software how to rotate the image for correct display, written when you shoot with the camera turned sideways. A value like 'Rotate 90° CW' means the pixels are stored rotated and viewers should correct it.
