Free EXIF viewer
Drop in a photo to see the metadata your camera or phone saved inside it — camera and lens, the date it was taken, exposure settings, and the exact spot it was taken, plotted on a map. Export it all as JSON if you need it. Everything runs in your browser — unlike most online EXIF tools, your photo is never uploaded.

JPG, HEIC, TIFF, PNG, and camera RAW — nothing is uploaded
What's hidden in your photos
Every photo a camera or phone takes carries EXIF metadata: the make and model, the exact date and time, shutter speed, aperture and ISO, and very often the GPS coordinates of where you were standing. It's useful for organising your library — and worth knowing about before you share a photo publicly.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. This EXIF viewer runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your photo is read on your own device and never sent to a server. (Many online EXIF tools do upload your photo; this one doesn't.)
Can I see where a photo was taken?
Yes. If the photo carries GPS data, we plot the exact spot on a map (and link it to Google Maps) right in your browser. Only the coordinates are sent to load the map tiles — the photo itself never leaves your device.
Can I download the metadata?
Yes — export everything we found as a JSON file with one click.
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is hidden metadata cameras and phones embed in photos: the camera and lens, the date and time taken, exposure settings, and often the GPS location where the photo was taken.
Why does my photo show no EXIF data?
Screenshots and most PNGs never have it. Many apps and chat services (and re-saving or editing a photo) strip EXIF, so a downloaded or shared copy often has little or none.
Which file types are supported?
JPG/JPEG, HEIC/HEIF (iPhone), TIFF, PNG, and common camera RAW formats (DNG, CR2/CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF).
Moving your photos out of Google Photos?
PhotoBridge copies your entire Google Photos library to your own cloud storage — dates, locations and EXIF preserved, duplicates skipped. Try it free.
