EXIF viewer
Open a photo to read its camera, lens, exposure and capture date, and see whether it carries GPS location, without uploading the file anywhere.

How it works
The method behind the numbers.
EXIF is a block of camera metadata that most cameras and phones write into a JPEG. The viewer finds the APP1 segment that begins with Exif, reads the TIFF structure inside it (either byte order), and decodes three directories: the main one (camera, orientation, software, artist, copyright), the Exif one (lens, exposure, date) and the GPS one. Nothing leaves your device.
decimal degrees = degrees + minutes ÷ 60 + seconds ÷ 3600
(negative for S and W)- Only JPEG EXIF is read. PNG and WebP exports from editors rarely carry camera data, and a file with no EXIF block simply shows nothing here. XMP and IPTC fields, such as captions, keywords and place names, are not read, so a photo can still carry information this page does not list.
- The date is the camera clock as written, with no time zone. A GPS fix of exactly 0°, 0° is treated as no location.
- The copy without metadata is drawn onto a canvas and encoded again, which strips EXIF, GPS and any embedded colour profile; the pixels are converted to sRGB. A PNG stays lossless; anything else is compressed a second time at 92% quality. Either way the file size changes and the image is not byte-identical to the original. Keep your original.
