JPG, PNG, WebP or TIFF · up to 50 MB · paste works too

Next: try Image Metadata (EXIF) Remover — Strip EXIF, GPS and camera data from photos before sharing.

Photos carry a hidden diary. Open one here and this free EXIF viewer reads the metadata your camera wrote into the file: the camera and lens, the exposure settings, the exact date and time, and — if the photo has it — the GPS location where it was taken. It is the fastest way to learn what a photo reveals about you before you share it.

Reading happens entirely in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device. If the results surprise you, strip everything with the Image Metadata (EXIF) Remover before posting. Large originals can then be shrunk with the Image Compressor for faster sharing.

How to use

Drop a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP or TIFF) onto the box above, or click to browse.
The tool reads the file's EXIF tags in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Read the camera, lens, date and GPS details in the table below.
Use Start over to inspect another photo.

Why use Toolsvine

Most EXIF viewers are desktop programs you must install, or websites that upload your photo to a server — a strange way to check private location data. Toolsvine reads the tags locally with JavaScript, so the photo and its GPS coordinates never leave your device. It is free, needs no account, and shows exactly what is there — including when there is nothing at all.

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is a standard block of information that cameras and phones write into image files. It was designed so photo software could show the settings behind a shot, but the same block also records where and when the photo was taken. A single phone photo can contain dozens of tags, from the shutter speed to the altitude.

Tags this viewer shows

Tag	What it tells you
Make / Model	Camera or phone that took the photo
LensModel	Lens used, when recorded
DateTimeOriginal	When the shutter was pressed
GPSLatitude / GPSLongitude	Where the photo was taken
ISO, FNumber, ExposureTime	Exposure settings of the shot
FocalLength	Zoom level, in millimetres

If a tag is missing from the table, the photo simply does not carry it — the viewer never guesses or invents values. Many screenshots, downloaded images and edited photos have no EXIF at all, and the tool says so plainly instead of showing made-up details.

Frequently asked questions

What if my photo has no EXIF data?

The tool says so clearly: “This photo has no EXIF data.” Screenshots, images saved from the web and photos that have already been through an editor or social network often carry no metadata at all.

Can I see the GPS location on a map?

The viewer shows the latitude and longitude numbers exactly as stored in the file. You can paste those coordinates into any map app to see the spot. The photo itself is never sent anywhere.

Does this work with iPhone photos?

Yes. iPhone photos (JPEG and HEIC) usually carry rich EXIF data, including GPS. Note that HEIC files need converting first — try the HEIC to JPG Converter — because browsers cannot always read HEIC directly.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read locally in your browser and the tags are shown on the page. Nothing is uploaded, stored or shared.

Why do some photos show only a few tags?

Different cameras record different tags, and editing apps often strip most of them. A photo that has been cropped, filtered or re-saved may keep only the image dimensions and colour information.
