EXIF Viewer Pro

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It contains technical information about how the photo was taken, including: camera make and model, lens specifications, aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, focal length, flash mode, metering mode, white balance, GPS coordinates (if enabled), date and time, and image dimensions. This data is invisible when viewing the photo normally but can be extracted using tools like our EXIF Viewer.

Our EXIF Viewer Pro supports unlimited bulk uploads. Simply drag and drop multiple images onto the upload area, or click to select multiple files at once. Each image is processed individually, and you can click through the thumbnail gallery to instantly switch between photos and compare their metadata. This is especially useful for photographers analyzing a photo series or burst sequence to see how their settings changed across shots.

Data Stamping is a unique export feature that creates a new image with a stylish footer containing your photo's technical details. The stamp includes: camera make and model on the left, and lens focal length, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO on the right. This creates a professional 'Shot On' style image perfect for sharing on social media platforms like Instagram, where photographers often showcase their camera settings.

Yes! If the photo contains GPS coordinates (meaning location services were enabled when it was taken), our GPS Map tab will show an interactive Google Maps embed pinpointing the exact location. You can see the latitude, longitude, and even open the location in the full Google Maps application for navigation or further exploration.

Absolutely not. EXIF Viewer Pro processes all images 100% locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Your photos never leave your device, and no data is transmitted to any server. This ensures complete privacy, especially important since EXIF data can contain sensitive information like GPS coordinates. Once the page loads, the tool even works offline.

There are several reasons a photo might not have EXIF data: (1) Screenshots don't contain EXIF data since they're not camera-captured. (2) Images downloaded from social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter have been stripped of metadata for privacy. (3) The image may have been processed through a privacy tool or editing software that removed metadata. (4) Some older image formats or cameras don't support EXIF.

EXIF Viewer is designed to READ and DISPLAY metadata—helping photographers learn about their camera settings or check what information a photo contains. EXIF Remover is designed to STRIP and DELETE metadata—essential for protecting privacy before sharing photos online. They serve opposite purposes: Viewer reveals data, Remover destroys data.

When you admire a photograph and want to understand how it was created, viewing its EXIF data reveals the technical recipe: ISO tells you about light sensitivity (low for bright scenes, high for dark), aperture (f-number) shows depth of field choices (low like f/1.8 for blurred backgrounds, high like f/11 for landscape sharpness), shutter speed indicates motion handling (fast freezes action, slow creates blur), and focal length shows the lens perspective used.

For beginners analyzing EXIF data, focus on the 'exposure triangle': (1) ISO - Lower numbers (100-400) mean cleaner images but need more light; higher numbers (800+) work in low light but add grain. (2) Aperture (f-number) - Lower means more background blur and light; higher means sharper backgrounds. (3) Shutter Speed - Faster (1/500s) freezes motion; slower (1/30s) may blur movement. These three settings work together to create proper exposure.

Yes, EXIF data can contain identifying information including your camera's serial number, your phone's unique device identifier, and the exact software version used for editing. This is why it's important to remove EXIF data before sharing photos publicly, especially if anonymity is important. Our companion EXIF Remover tool can strip all this identifying information.

EXIF metadata is primarily supported in JPEG/JPG files, which is the most common format for photos. It's also supported in: TIFF files (used in professional photography), RAW files from cameras (though these use proprietary metadata formats), and some camera manufacturer-specific formats. PNG files typically don't support EXIF, and WebP support varies. Screenshots usually don't contain EXIF regardless of format.

GPS coordinates are displayed in degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) format—for example, 40° 42' 46" N, 74° 0' 21" W. The first value is latitude (north-south position) and the second is longitude (east-west position). Our interactive map automatically converts these to a visual pin, so you don't need to interpret the numbers yourself. You can click 'Open in Google Maps' to explore the location further.
