FAQs
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is metadata embedded in image files by digital cameras and smartphones. It includes information about the camera settings used to take the photo (like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO), the date and time the photo was taken, GPS location coordinates (if enabled), and other technical details about the image.
Why would I need to view EXIF data?
Viewing EXIF data is useful for photographers to analyze their camera settings, for verifying when and where a photo was taken, for checking image authenticity, for learning from other photographers' techniques, or for removing sensitive information (like location data) before sharing images online.
What image formats are supported?
Our EXIF viewer primarily supports JPEG and TIFF image formats, as these are the most common formats that contain EXIF metadata. PNG, WebP, and other formats typically don't include EXIF data or store it in different ways that may not be fully compatible with standard EXIF readers.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, the maximum file size is 10MB to ensure optimal performance. This is sufficient for most photos, but you may need to resize very large images before uploading.
Can I see the location where a photo was taken?
Yes, if the image contains GPS coordinates in its EXIF data (and if location tagging was enabled when the photo was taken), our tool will display the latitude and longitude. We also provide a convenient button to view the location on Google Maps.
What types of camera information can I see?
You can view details like camera make and model, lens information, aperture (f-stop), shutter speed (exposure time), ISO sensitivity, focal length, whether flash was used, white balance setting, and exposure mode.
How do I save the EXIF data?
You can download all the extracted EXIF data as a JSON file by clicking the "Download EXIF Data as JSON" button. This creates a structured file that you can save for your records or analyze with other tools.
Is my image data private and secure?
Yes, all processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security of your content and its metadata.
Why doesn't my image show any EXIF data?
There could be several reasons: 1) The image format doesn't support EXIF data (e.g., PNG, GIF), 2) The EXIF data was stripped when the image was edited or processed, 3) The camera or device didn't add EXIF data when creating the image, or 4) Social media platforms and some image editing tools automatically remove EXIF data for privacy reasons.
Can I remove EXIF data from my images with this tool?
Our current tool is designed for viewing EXIF data, not removing it. However, being aware of what metadata your images contain is the first step in managing your privacy. To remove EXIF data, you can use image editing software or dedicated EXIF removal tools.
