EXIF Data Viewer

View all metadata embedded in your image, organized into categories:

• Camera Information: Camera model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO
• Image Details: Resolution, color space, orientation, compression
• Date & Time: When the photo was taken and last modified
• GPS Location: Latitude, longitude, altitude if available
• Author & Copyright: Creator information and copyright notices

Use the "Expand All" and "Collapse All" buttons to quickly show or hide all sections.

Editing EXIF Data

Click the edit icon next to any field to modify its value:

1. Click the pencil icon next to the field you want to edit
2. Enter your new value in the input field or select from dropdown options
3. Click the checkmark to save or the X to cancel
4. After making all your changes, click "Download Edited Image" to save a new copy with your modifications

Note: Your edits are preserved even if you collapse and expand sections. The original image is never modified.

GPS Location Map

If your image contains GPS coordinates, you'll see an interactive map showing where the photo was taken. You can:

• View the exact location on an embedded Google Map
• Click "Open in Maps" to view the location in Google Maps in a new tab
• See the precise latitude, longitude, and altitude coordinates

Thumbnail Extractor

Many images contain embedded thumbnail previews. This tool lets you:

• View and download the embedded thumbnail if one exists
• Upload a custom thumbnail to replace the existing one
• Save a new version of your image with the custom thumbnail embedded

Privacy Analysis

Get an instant privacy assessment of your image's metadata. This tool identifies:

• High Risk: GPS location data that reveals where the photo was taken
• Medium Risk: Device information, timestamps, and editing software details
• Low Risk: Technical camera settings that don't reveal personal information

Metadata Stripper

Remove all or selected metadata from your images:

1. Toggle "Preserve Color Profile" if you want to keep color information (recommended for photos)
2. Click "Strip EXIF Data" to remove all metadata
3. Review the estimated file size savings
4. Click "Download Stripped Image" to save your cleaned image

Tip: Stripping metadata is recommended before sharing photos online to protect your privacy.

No EXIF Data Found

Some images may not contain EXIF data. This is common for:

• Screenshots and screen captures
• Images downloaded from social media (which often strip metadata)
• Images that have been previously processed or edited
• PNG files (which have limited metadata support)

Map Not Loading

If the GPS map doesn't appear:

• Check that your image contains GPS coordinates in the EXIF data
• Ensure you have an active internet connection
• Try clicking "Open in Maps" to view the location in Google Maps directly

Large File Processing

Very large images (over 20MB) may take longer to process. For best performance:

• Use images under 20MB when possible
• Close other browser tabs to free up memory
• Wait for the processing to complete before interacting with the page
