Free EXIF viewer online.

Drop the photo onto the viewer. The browser parses the EXIF block in your file and displays date, time, GPS coordinates (pinned on a map with reverse-geocoded address), camera make and model, lens, exposure settings, IPTC fields, and XMP fields in clean tables. No upload, no signup. Works on JPEG, PNG, HEIC, and TIFF.

All of those, yes. An online EXIF viewer, EXIF reader, EXIF data viewer, metadata viewer, and EXIF checker are different names for the same thing: a tool that reads the hidden metadata inside a photo and shows it to you. This page does exactly that for any JPEG, PNG, HEIC, or TIFF, entirely in your browser with nothing to install.

Yes. This is a fully browser-side EXIF viewer, so you can view EXIF online without the file ever leaving your device. Drop a photo and the tags appear instantly. That matters when the photo is sensitive, since nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored.

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is the metadata block that cameras and phones write inside every photo file. It can include the EXIF timestamp (when the photo was taken), GPS coordinates (where), camera make and model, lens model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, copyright, and more. It's invisible to the eye but readable by any EXIF viewer.

Drop the photo here; the viewer shows DateTimeOriginal (when the shutter fired), CreateDate (when the file was first written), and ModifyDate (when the file was last saved or edited). DateTimeOriginal is the field most apps treat as 'when the photo was taken' and the one to trust for sorting and forensic checks.

Yes. When the photo carries GPS data, the viewer shows latitude, longitude, altitude, pins the location on an OpenStreetMap, and reverse-geocodes a human-readable address (street, city, country). Useful for journalism, insurance, real estate, and forensic photo work.

Two common reasons. First, Location Services were off when the photo was taken (Settings → Privacy → Camera on iPhone). Second, the photo passed through a social platform like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, or X (Twitter) that strips EXIF on upload. If the photo was downloaded from social media, the GPS is almost certainly gone.

Yes. No accounts, no daily caps, no per-file size limit, no watermark. The viewer parses files entirely in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device. We never see your photo.

JPEG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone), and TIFF. Most phone photos and camera RAW exports work out of the box. RAW formats (CR2, NEF, ARW) show the tags exposed by the standard EXIF spec but may show fewer fields than the manufacturer's own software.

Yes. IPTC fields (caption, by-line, headline, keywords, credit, source) and XMP fields (dc:title, dc:creator, ratings, develop settings written by Lightroom) appear in dedicated tables when the photo carries them. Useful for journalism, stock photography, and Lightroom workflows.

Not in the viewer. Use our EXIF Editor to change individual fields (GPS, date, camera, etc.) or the EXIF Remover to strip all metadata before sharing.
