What is EXIF data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a metadata standard that cameras and phones embed into image files. It records the camera make and model, lens, exposure settings (shutter, aperture, ISO, focal length), date and time of capture, orientation, software used, and — if location services were enabled — precise GPS coordinates.

EXIF is read by photo editors (to show camera settings), by operating systems (to show thumbnails and orientation), and by social platforms. Most public sites (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X) strip EXIF on upload, but image hosts, email attachments, and direct downloads typically preserve it. If you are sharing photos outside those walled gardens, assume the metadata travels with the file.

This viewer parses EXIF entirely in your browser using the exifr library. Your image never leaves your device. If you want a clean version of the photo to share, pair this tool with the Strip EXIF tool.
