exiftool

online metadata viewer · in-browser

your files never leave this tab



A free, private EXIF viewer. Drop in a photo and see every piece of metadata the camera, phone or editing app wrote into it — then export it or wipe it clean.

What is image metadata?

Every photo carries hidden data alongside the pixels. Cameras and phones embed EXIF tags describing the device, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length and the exact date and time. Phones usually add GPS coordinates pinpointing where the shot was taken. Editors and agencies add IPTC and XMP blocks for captions, keywords, copyright and credit. There is also an embedded ICC colour profile and, on JPEGs, a small preview thumbnail.

This tool reads all of it. Parsing happens with exifr compiled into the page, so your image is decoded on your own machine and never sent anywhere.

How to view EXIF data

  1. Drag a photo onto the box above, paste it from the clipboard, or click to browse. You can load several at once.
  2. Read the quick facts — dimensions, camera, lens, exposure, capture date — then scroll the grouped tables for the full tag list.
  3. If the photo has GPS, click the coordinates to open the exact spot on OpenStreetMap.
  4. Use copy JSON, JSON file or CSV file to export the data.

How to remove EXIF and GPS data

Click download stripped copy. The image is redrawn to a canvas and re-encoded with zero metadata — no EXIF, no GPS, no IPTC, no XMP — and saved next to the original, which is never modified. Do this before posting photos publicly if you would rather not share your camera serial number or home location.
