View Image EXIF Metadata Online (with GPS Map)

Three main categories of information. Image properties: dimensions in pixels, color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB, Display P3), bit depth, orientation, embedded thumbnail. These are technical specs of the file itself. Camera and capture: camera make, model, lens, software used to take or edit the photo, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length, flash mode, white balance, exposure mode. Useful for photographers analyzing their settings. Author and location: GPS coordinates (with altitude if available), date and time taken with timezone, copyright field (set by photographer), keywords and caption (IPTC fields), edit history (XMP field). This is the privacy-sensitive section.

A good EXIF viewer shows all three categories clearly organized. Our viewer does this and additionally puts the GPS coordinates on a clickable map so you can see exactly where the photo was taken.

Photographers studying their own work: check the settings that produced a good photo so you can replicate them. Buying a used camera: ask the seller for sample shots and inspect the shutter count and serial number in EXIF to verify it matches the listed condition. Journalism: verifying a photo's authenticity (timestamp, GPS, camera) when source provenance matters. Legal: court evidence requires intact metadata to prove when and where a photo was taken. Curiosity: figuring out what camera or lens a friend used for their photo.

In all of these cases, you want to see the EXIF without modifying the file. That is what View mode is for. The file you uploaded stays unchanged on your device.

When a photo has GPS coordinates, this tool shows them as numbers and provides links to view the exact location on OpenStreetMap or Google Maps. This is useful for understanding the privacy implication: open the map link to literally see your home address (or wherever the photo was taken).

If you are inspecting your own photo before sharing it: seeing the location on a map is the moment most people decide to strip metadata. If you are inspecting a photo from someone else: respect the privacy implication and do not share the location publicly unless they explicitly want it known. Many people share photos online without realizing their address is embedded.
