EXIF metadata viewer

Every signal this site uses for images starts with metadata, and this page lets you see it directly. Upload an image to read its camera details, exposure settings, GPS coordinates, editing history and any provenance manifest it carries.

It is worth looking at your own photos this way at least once. Images straight from a phone often carry the exact coordinates where they were taken, and most people sharing them have no idea that travels with the file.

By uploading you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. Your file, IP address, approximate location and device details are stored.

What this checks

  • Camera make, model, lens and full exposure settings

  • C2PA Content Credentials where present

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF data?

A block of structured information cameras and phones write into image files, recording the device, its settings at the moment of capture, and often the location.

Does uploading here expose my location?

The coordinates are read from your file and shown back to you, and the file is stored as described in the privacy policy. If that is a concern, strip the metadata before uploading — your operating system's file info panel can usually do it.

Why do images from social media have no EXIF?

Most platforms strip it on upload, partly for privacy and partly to reduce file size. It is why so many checks here come back inconclusive.
