EXIF viewer
Open a photo and read its EXIF data: which camera and lens, what settings, when it was taken, and whether it still carries coordinates. Nothing is uploaded — the file is parsed on your own device.

Your file never leaves your device. Processing happens entirely in your browser.
Reading exposure data
Shutter speed is stored as a rational number and shown the way photographers write it, so 0.008333 becomes 1/120 s. Aperture appears as an f-number, focal length in millimetres with the 35 mm equivalent when the camera recorded one, and exposure compensation in EV.
Enumerated values are translated: metering mode 5 becomes "Multi-segment", orientation 6 becomes "Rotate 90 CW". Switch on "Show raw values" to see the stored numbers alongside the translations, which is what you want when comparing against another tool.
Beyond EXIF
The viewer also reads IPTC, XMP and the ICC colour profile, so a photo that has been through editing software shows its full history rather than just what the camera wrote. For videos it reads the container metadata stores as well.
Fields this tool has no friendly name for are still shown, under their tag name, so nothing is hidden from you just because it is unusual.
Frequently asked questions
Does this EXIF viewer upload my photo?
No. The parser is JavaScript running in your browser. You can confirm it with your browser’s network tools: opening a file produces no request at all.
Which formats can it read?
EXIF itself lives in JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and AVIF, and in MP4, MOV and WebM — HEIC and AVIF are read from their ISO-BMFF item store, which is where those formats keep it. The same viewer opens everything else the build reads, including MP3, WAV, M4A and PDF, and shows whatever those carry instead: ID3 frames, Broadcast Wave fields, iTunes atoms, document properties. A photograph embedded as cover art is opened as a photograph, EXIF and all.
Can I export what it finds?
Yes — as structured JSON, which keeps the raw values alongside the formatted ones, or as a plain-text report laid out like the page. You can also copy a single value or one category at a time.
Why does one tool show more tags than another?
Different readers cover different tag sets, and some hide fields they cannot name. This viewer shows unrecognised tags under their numeric identifier rather than dropping them, so the count can be higher than you expect.
