EXIF Viewer
Drop in a photo to read every EXIF, IPTC, and XMP field, plot any embedded GPS coordinates on a map, and download a cleaned copy with the metadata stripped. Everything happens locally in your browser — the image is never uploaded.
Everything stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Read photo metadata and find where a picture was taken
EXIF metadata can reveal the camera and lens, the exact capture time, the editing software, and — when present — the GPS coordinates where a photo was taken. This viewer extracts all of it and maps any location. It also lets you scrub metadata before sharing a photo, so you do not leak your own location.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find the location a photo was taken?
If the photo still contains GPS EXIF data, this tool extracts the latitude and longitude and drops a pin on the map. Many platforms strip GPS on upload, so a missing location simply means the coordinates were removed — it does not mean the photo is fake.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is read and parsed entirely in your browser using the open-source exifr library. Nothing leaves your device.
How do I remove EXIF/metadata from a photo?
Load the image and click “Download cleaned copy”. The tool redraws the image to a canvas and re-encodes it, which discards EXIF, GPS, and other metadata, then downloads the clean file.
Why does my photo show no metadata?
Screenshots, social-media downloads, and many messaging apps strip EXIF automatically, so there may be nothing left to read.
