Photos carry a lot more than pixels — camera model, lens, shutter speed, ISO, GPS coordinates, editing history, and often personal identifiers you didn't realize were there. The EXIF Viewer reads every EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tag from a file and displays them in a readable table with categories. Perfect for verifying an image's provenance, checking that metadata was stripped correctly, or just satisfying curiosity.
What you can inspect
Every EXIF field: camera make/model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, exposure compensation, white balance, flash setting. GPS: latitude, longitude, altitude, and timestamp. IPTC: title, description, keywords, copyright, creator info. XMP: editing history, rating, color labels, and every metadata field a modern DAM adds.
Privacy risks in metadata
Photos taken with a phone often include GPS coordinates precise to the meter — enough to identify your home if you post from there. iPhones bake in the device serial number. Some cameras include the shooter's registered name. If you share photos online, run this tool once on a typical export to see what you're leaking. Then use the EXIF Stripper to clean.
Export the metadata
Copy any tag value with one click, or export the full metadata as JSON for further processing. Useful for forensic investigations, journalism (verifying an image's origin), and DAM workflows that need to re-index a file's metadata.
