What EXIF Data Can Tell You About a Photo
EXIF records camera, date, and sometimes location details at the moment a photo was taken.
What is the Image EXIF Viewer?
Upload a JPEG in your browser and this tool parses its actual bytes: the APP1 Exif header, TIFF byte order, IFD0 tags for make, model, and date, the GPS reference if present, and the image dimensions from the frame header. With no file uploaded it shows a built-in synthetic JPEG demo so the parser can be checked. It reads metadata only and never edits your photo.
How to use it
- Upload a JPEG image
- Run the viewer
- Read make, model, date, GPS reference, and dimensions
Worked example
Parses the built-in synthetic JPEG and reports Canon, EOS 5D, 2024:01:15 10:30:00, GPS reference N, and size 800 x 600 px.
Should I share photos with EXIF intact?
Be careful with location data, since GPS tags can reveal where a photo was taken.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work on PNG files?
PNG files do not carry EXIF in the same way, so JPEG gives the fullest result here.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No, the bytes are parsed in the browser from the file you choose.
