EXIF & Metadata
EXIF Data Viewer
Inspect every piece of metadata in your photos — camera, lens, exposure, GPS location on a map, timestamps and more. Files are read locally; nothing is uploaded.
Metadata is read locally — your photos never leave your device.
To view EXIF data, drop photos above — they are parsed entirely in your browser and never uploaded. You'll see camera, lens, exposure, timestamps, software and, when present, the GPS position plotted on a map. JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF, AVIF and camera RAW all work; metadata a platform already stripped can't be recovered.
Honest limits
- Shows what's in the file — metadata stripped by social apps before you received it can't be recovered.
- Reads EXIF, XMP, IPTC and ICC blocks; maker-specific proprietary notes may appear as raw values.
Need more than a browser can do? Desktop browsers go further than phones — and Media Moana converts at scale on hosted infrastructure.
How it works
Drop a photo
Drag any image in — JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF, AVIF or camera RAW.
Read instantly
All metadata is parsed locally in your browser and grouped by category.
Act on it
See GPS on a map, copy values, or jump to the Remove EXIF tool to strip everything.
Frequently asked questions
Is this safe? Do my photos get uploaded?
No upload happens — ever. Reading metadata runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, nothing is stored on any server, and the tool even keeps working if you go offline after the page loads. That's also why there are no file size limits, no queues and no sign-up.
What metadata can this viewer show?
Everything stored in the file: camera make and model, lens, exposure (shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length), capture date and time, software used, image dimensions, colour profile, copyright fields, and — if present — the GPS coordinates plotted on a map. It reads EXIF, XMP, IPTC and ICC blocks from JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF, AVIF and camera RAW files.
Why does my photo have no EXIF data?
Most social networks and messaging apps (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, X) strip metadata when you upload, and screenshots never have camera EXIF in the first place. If you received the photo through one of those channels, the metadata was removed before it reached you.
Can I see where a photo was taken?
If the photo still contains GPS coordinates (phones embed them by default unless location access is off), the viewer plots the exact spot on an OpenStreetMap map and links to Google Maps. For a dedicated experience, try the Photo Location Finder tool.
Can I inspect multiple photos at once?
Yes — drop in a whole folder. Each photo is parsed on your own computer, so there is no per-file fee, no daily cap and no queue. Results are listed per photo with the metadata grouped by category, so comparing camera settings across a shoot takes seconds.
Is there a file size or quantity limit?
There is no hard limit. Server-based converters cap uploads because your files consume their bandwidth and CPU; here reading metadata happens on your machine, so the only practical limit is your device's memory. Desktop browsers comfortably handle very large files and big batches.
