Every photo a camera or phone takes carries a block of data most people never see: which camera and lens shot it, the exact shutter speed, aperture and ISO, when it was taken down to the second, whether the flash fired, the software that edited it and - very often - where in the world you were standing. Drop a file on this page and all of it appears immediately, read on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, which matters more here than in most tools, because metadata is exactly the part of a photo you would not want to hand to a stranger.
The Key facts view answers the questions people actually ask: camera and lens, the exposure triangle written the way a camera states it - 1/250 s, f/2.8, ISO 200 - the date taken, flash behaviour, white balance, orientation and the software that touched the file. Switch to All tags for the complete list, grouped by where it lives in the file (camera and image, photo settings, GPS, thumbnail), with a filter box to jump to any tag by name. Every value copies with a click, and Copy metadata puts the whole report on the clipboard as plain text.
If the file carries GPS, the coordinates are shown in decimal with the altitude when it was recorded, the degrees-minutes-seconds form appears when you hover them, and a link opens the exact spot on a map. The page also says plainly when a photo carries identifying information - coordinates, a camera serial number, an author name - because a picture posted from home tells anyone who downloads it where home is. When you want that gone, the photo location tool strips or replaces GPS data without touching a single pixel.
JPG files carry the classic EXIF block, and it is read in full. PNG files are read too, including the eXIf chunk and any text chunks a program wrote. WebP metadata is read from its RIFF chunks. TIFF is read directly - and because every camera RAW file is a TIFF underneath, DNG, CR2, NEF, ARW, ORF and RW2 give up their camera data here as well, even when the browser cannot display the picture itself. XMP, IPTC and ICC blocks are detected and reported alongside the EXIF tags.
For the two questions people ask most often there are focused pages: where a photo was taken pins it on a map, and when a photo was taken contrasts the camera's date with the file's. To change what a photo says rather than read it, the photo location tool writes or removes GPS, and add timestamp burns a visible date onto the image. For the picture's own numbers - dimensions, file size, megapixels - there is the image size finder, and to see the picture itself in every format there are the viewers.
Load the file here and the metadata appears at once: camera, lens, exposure settings, date taken and GPS if present. Switch to All tags for the complete raw list. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
Yes. The date taken comes from the camera's own EXIF record, not the file system, so it survives copying and re-uploading - which is why it is the reliable answer to "when was this actually shot".
If the camera or phone recorded GPS, yes - decimal coordinates with altitude when present, the degrees-minutes-seconds form on hover, and a map link. Many photos have it stripped by social networks on upload, in which case the tool says there is none.
Yes. RAW formats are TIFF containers, so the camera metadata is read the same way even when the browser cannot render the image. The metadata panel fills in and the preview is simply skipped.
Screenshots, images saved by many editors, and anything downloaded from a social network usually have the metadata stripped. The tool reports exactly what is present, including XMP, IPTC and ICC blocks when EXIF itself is missing.
No. The file is parsed byte by byte in your browser on your device. Nothing is transmitted, which is the point for a tool that reads location data.
