What you get

The camera behind the photo, in one read.

A browser-side EXIF read that surfaces the make, model, lens, and settings a camera wrote into the file. No upload, no account, free.

Camera make and model

See the exact phone or camera: Apple iPhone 15 Pro, Canon EOS R6, Samsung Galaxy, and so on.

Lens and focal length

The lens model and focal length when the camera recorded them, useful for dedicated cameras.

Exposure settings

ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and exposure mode, the way the shot was actually taken.

Date and GPS too

The same read also surfaces the capture date and, when present, the GPS location on a map.

Every common format

JPEG, HEIC (iPhone), PNG, and TIFF. The formats phones and cameras actually produce.

Nothing uploaded

The photo is parsed in your browser. It never leaves your device and is never logged.

FAQ

Common questions about identifying the camera.

How can I tell what camera took a photo?
Drop the photo onto the tool above. It reads the EXIF metadata the camera wrote into the file and shows the Make (for example Apple, Canon, Samsung), the Model (for example iPhone 15 Pro, EOS R6), the lens, and the exposure settings. Nothing is uploaded; the file is read in your browser.
Does it work for iPhone and Android photos?
Yes. iPhone HEIC and JPEG, and Android JPEG, all store the camera Make and Model in EXIF, so they show the phone model directly. Most dedicated cameras (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm) store it too, along with the lens.
What if it shows no camera?
Some photos carry no camera tag. That happens with screenshots, images downloaded from the web, photos sent through apps like Instagram or WhatsApp that strip metadata on upload, or files that were re-saved by an editor that cleared EXIF. No camera tag means the information was never written or was removed later.
Can it still tell the camera if the photo was edited?
Often yes. Editors like Lightroom or Snapseed usually keep the original camera Make and Model and add their own Software tag on top. If the photo was exported with metadata stripped, the camera fields will be empty. The tool also shows the Software tag so you can see what last touched the file.
Is it free and private?
Yes. No account, no limit, no watermark. The photo never leaves your device; the EXIF is parsed locally in your browser and nothing is logged.

Capture-time alternative

Want the camera, time, and place baked in?

Reading the camera after the fact only works while the EXIF survives. When you shoot with the iOS app, the device, atomic time, and GPS are stamped onto the image itself, so the record holds even if the file is later stripped.
