    How to view a photo's EXIF data

    1. Choose a photo, or drop it onto the box above. JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, AVIF and TIFF work.
    2. If the photo contains a GPS location, it's shown first, in red. Below it is a summary: camera, lens, date, size and settings.
    3. Open "All metadata" to see every field the file contains.

    What is EXIF data?

    When a phone or camera takes a photo, it saves details about the shot inside the file: the date and time, the camera model and its settings, and, if location is turned on, the GPS coordinates of where you were standing. Editing apps add their own notes on top, in formats called XMP and IPTC.

    Most of this is harmless. The location is the part to watch. A photo taken at home and shared as a file can show anyone who opens it where you live.

    How to remove it

    Use the photo metadata remover. It strips the location and the other details from JPG, PNG and WebP files without re-saving the image, so quality stays the same.

    Questions

    Are my photos uploaded?

    No. The file is read inside your browser tab, on your device. "Try it offline" at the top of this page shows how to check.

    Why doesn't my photo show a location?

    The camera may have had location turned off, or the photo passed through an app or website that removed its metadata. Screenshots and downloaded images usually have none.

    Can it show where a photo was taken on a map?

    It shows the coordinates. A map would mean loading map images from another website, and this page never connects to other sites. You can paste the coordinates into any map app.
