Frequently Asked Questions
You can view all standard EXIF fields including camera make and model, lens information, focal length, aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, ISO, flash status, white balance, exposure mode, metering mode, date and time taken, software used, image dimensions, and GPS coordinates with altitude. The exact data depends on what your camera or phone embedded in the photo.
Simply drag and drop any JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC image onto the upload zone, or click to browse and select a file. The EXIF viewer will instantly display all embedded metadata organized into EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tabs, with a camera info card showing the most important settings at a glance.
Editing EXIF metadata is only supported for JPEG images. PNG, WebP, and HEIC images are displayed in read-only mode. For those formats, you can view the EXIF data but need to use the "Remove All Metadata" button to strip it (which re-encodes the image).
For JPEG images, the EXIF data is cleanly stripped while preserving image quality. For PNG and WebP, the image is re-encoded through a canvas element, which naturally strips all metadata. The result is a clean image with no embedded GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, or personal information.
No. All EXIF processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript libraries (ExifReader and piexifjs). Your files are never sent to any server, so they remain completely private on your device.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is automatically embedded by cameras and phones every time you take a photo. It includes technical settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed), device info (camera model, lens), GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, and timestamps. This data can reveal personal information about the photographer and location, which is why viewing and managing EXIF data is important for privacy.
No. When editing EXIF metadata in JPEG images, the image data itself is not re-encoded — only the metadata block is modified. This means there is zero quality loss. When removing metadata from PNG or WebP, the image is re-encoded which may cause minimal quality changes.
