EXIF Viewer
Shows every piece of EXIF data hidden inside a photo: the camera and lens, when it was taken and in which time zone, and the GPS coordinates. The file is read inside your browser and never uploaded.
This tool does not upload your files. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.

Finding out where and when a photo was taken
Before listing something on Facebook Marketplace, it is worth knowing whether the photos carry the coordinates of your front door. The opposite case comes up just as often: an insurance adjuster or a landlord wants proof that a damage photo really was taken on the day and at the place you say it was. Cameras and phones write all of this into the file under the name EXIF, and this tool lays the whole of it out.
The summary at the top gives the camera, the time it was taken, the lens, the pixel dimensions, and a map link when coordinates are present. Make and model are stored verbatim, so you get something like 'Apple iPhone 15', and where lens data exists it even tells you whether the front or the rear camera was used. Open the tables underneath and you get the rest segment by segment: exposure, aperture, ISO and metering, any IPTC copyright fields, the colour profile, and a button to copy the lot.
An empty location field does not mean the photo is clean. Messengers and social networks usually strip only the GPS block when you upload, leaving the camera, the lens and the timestamp intact, and the UTC offset beside that timestamp still tells anyone which part of the world you were in. One thing this tool deliberately does not do is decode the manufacturer's private section, the maker note; it reports how many bytes it left alone, and reading what is inside needs something like ExifTool. It only reads, never edits, so to actually remove any of this use the Remove EXIF tool.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it really show the camera model?
- Yes. The make and model are stored verbatim, so you get something like 'Apple iPhone 15'. When lens data is present it even distinguishes the front from the rear camera, and the software field often holds the OS version.
- Why is there no location?
- Most messengers and social networks strip the GPS block on upload while leaving everything else. If the camera and time are there but the position is blank, that is what happened. The UTC offset next to the timestamp usually survives, which still narrows down the region.
- Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
- No. The file is parsed in the browser. Uploading a photo to someone else's server just to find out whether it leaks your home address would defeat the purpose, so this tool never sends it.
