View EXIF data
See the hidden metadata in a photo, including GPS. Nothing is uploaded.
Runs on your device. The file is never uploaded.
View EXIF data parses a photo with exifr and prints each tag it carries on its own line. A warning line closes the report when the file holds both a latitude and a longitude. JFIF header fields are filtered out first, so an ordinary JPEG reports no EXIF data. It only reads: no file is written and yours is untouched.
Questions
Will it tell me if my photo contains my location?
Yes, and it calls that out separately. When the file carries a latitude and longitude, the report ends with a warning line giving both numbers and saying the photo records where it was taken. If there is no GPS pair, no such line appears. That is the question this tool exists to answer, so it never guesses.
Which files can it read?
JPG, PNG, HEIC, AVIF and TIFF. It uses the exifr library with full parsing switched on, so EXIF, GPS, IPTC and XMP blocks are all read into one report. If a file cannot be parsed it says so explicitly, naming the underlying reason and stating that the file has not been checked for GPS, rather than reporting a clean result.
Why does it say "no EXIF data" when I know the photo has some?
Because some fields are deliberately not counted. JFIF header entries, which are present in nearly every JPEG and say nothing about your camera or location, are filtered out of both the report and the emptiness check. So do nested objects. If only that boilerplate remains, the honest answer is that nothing meaningful is there.
Does it remove anything?
No. This tool only reads and prints; your file is not modified and no new file is produced. To clear the metadata, run Remove image metadata, which re-encodes the picture and drops every metadata block. Viewing first and stripping second is the normal order.
Is my photo uploaded to read its metadata?
No. The parse happens in a Web Worker in this tab, on the bytes of the file you dropped. Nothing is uploaded, no account is involved, and the page works with your network off after the first visit. You can drop several photos at once and each gets its own report.
