About Our Image Metadata Viewer (EXIF)
Our Image Metadata Viewer is a powerful online tool that helps you uncover hidden information stored inside your photos. Every digital image contains metadata, also known as EXIF data, which includes technical details such as camera make and model, exposure settings, image resolution, orientation, color profile, date and time taken, and even GPS location if available. This tool makes it simple and instant to view all that information directly in your browser.
Whether you are a photographer, journalist, digital forensics expert, or casual user who simply wants to check when and how a photo was taken, our EXIF viewer gives you detailed insights without requiring any software installation. Just upload your photo and get a full breakdown of its metadata.
