How to use
01
Upload a photo
Click or drag any image up to 50 MB into the upload area. The tag count appears next to the thumbnail as soon as parsing finishes, which is usually instant.
02
Scan the tag table
Every parsed tag shows in a scrollable list with its name and value: Make, Model, DateTimeOriginal, FNumber, ISOSpeedRatings, GPSLatitude, and dozens more depending on the camera.
03
Filter to what matters
Type in the Filter tags box to narrow the list. Searching gps surfaces location fields, date finds timestamps, and lens pulls up optics info. Matching runs on tag names and values.
Why Image EXIF Viewer
- Read every EXIF tag from any image, camera, lens, settings, GPS, dates.
- 100% client-side via exifreader.
- Useful for verifying source images or auditing metadata before publishing.
Common questions
What EXIF data can this viewer show me?
Everything exifreader can decode: camera make and model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, capture and modification timestamps, orientation, editing software, and GPS coordinates when present. MakerNote and UserComment blobs are skipped, since they're proprietary binary data with nothing readable in them.
Can I view exif data online without uploading my photo?
Yes, and the distinction matters more here than for most tools. The file is read into memory by your own browser and parsed locally, so a photo full of location history never touches a server. Nothing about the image is transmitted.
What's the quickest way to check image exif for GPS?
Upload the photo and type gps into the filter box. If GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude appear, the file records where it was taken, usually precise to a few meters on phone photos. No GPS rows means the camera didn't record location or something stripped it along the way.
Why does my image show no EXIF tags?
Most social platforms and messaging apps strip metadata on upload, so a photo saved from WhatsApp or Instagram arrives nearly empty. Screenshots also start with minimal metadata. If you need the original tags, go back to the file straight off the camera or phone.
Is this photo metadata viewer able to read HEIC or RAW files?
It reads whatever exifreader can parse, which covers JPEG, TIFF, PNG, WebP, and HEIC containers among others. The thumbnail preview may stay blank for formats your browser can't render, but tag parsing works from the raw bytes, so the table still fills in.
Does editing a photo change its EXIF timestamps?
Usually. DateTimeOriginal records the capture moment and tends to survive edits, while DateTime updates when software saves the file, and a Software tag often names the editor. Comparing those fields is a quick authenticity check when someone claims an image is straight off the camera.
What should an EXIF check cover before I publish a photo?
Three things: GPS tags that reveal your home or workplace, serial numbers that tie images to your specific camera body, and timestamps that expose when you were somewhere. If any of those appear, re-export the image through software that strips metadata, then re-check it here.
Which camera settings can an EXIF readout show for a shot?
Yes, that's the classic photographer's use. FNumber, ExposureTime, ISOSpeedRatings, FocalLength, and Flash tell you exactly how a frame was exposed. It's a good way to learn from your own best shots or from any full-quality file another shooter sends you.
