What is exif data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is standardized metadata automatically embedded into image files by cameras and smartphones at the moment a photo is taken. It captures everything from camera settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) and timestamps to the GPS coordinates of where the shot was taken — invisible to the naked eye, but full of information.
Here we show you the meaning of the most common and important ones:

Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to a server when I use this tool?
No. Our EXIF viewer processes your image entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device and is never transmitted to any server. This means your photos — including any sensitive GPS data or personal details they contain — remain completely private. You can even use the tool offline once the page has loaded.
Can I change or edit the geolocation of an image?
Of course! If an image already had coordinates and metadata tags, you can modify them using the software, adding the new location from the map/search engine and entering the new tags manually. Even if the photo didn’t have original GPS data, you can assign it a new location and keywords in seconds.
Why does my photo show no GPS data or incomplete metadata?
There are several common reasons. First, location permissions may have been disabled on the device when the photo was taken. Second, many social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, X/Twitter) automatically strip all EXIF metadata — including GPS — when photos are uploaded or downloaded. Third, some apps and operating systems remove location data as a privacy measure before sharing. If you need the original metadata, always work with the unedited file straight from your camera roll or SD card.
What image formats does the EXIF viewer support?
Our tool supports the most common formats that carry EXIF data: JPEG/JPG (the most widely embedded), TIFF, WebP, HEIC/HEIF (used by iPhones), and many camera RAW formats including CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, ORF, and DNG. PNG files have limited EXIF support by design — they use a different metadata spec — but our tool will still read any available metadata chunks from them.
What is the difference between EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata?
These are three separate metadata standards that can coexist in the same image file. EXIF is written by cameras and devices and captures technical shooting data (exposure, GPS, device model). IPTC is an older editorial standard used by journalists and stock photo agencies to embed captions, keywords, copyright notices, and author credits. XMP is Adobe’s newer, XML-based standard that can store all of the above plus more complex data like editing history and star ratings. Our viewer reads and displays all three.
How do I remove EXIF data from a photo before sharing it?
It’s simple. Upload your image to our EXIF Viewer tool, click the Remove Metadata button, and a clean copy of your photo will download automatically — with all EXIF data stripped out. No GPS location, no device info, no timestamps. Your image, with nothing extra attached.
