ImgWrench's EXIF viewer shows the metadata hidden inside a photo: the camera and lens, the settings, when it was taken, and often where. It also finds editing history, captions, comments and data that phones hide after the image, so you know what you're sharing.

How to view a photo's EXIF data

  1. Drop one or more JPG, PNG or WebP photos into the tool above.
  2. Read the badge: GPS location inside, Has metadata, or No personal metadata.
  3. Open the field list for camera, settings, dates and serial numbers.
  4. Click Remove metadata if you want a clean copy.

What a photo can reveal

  • Where: a GPS position, often accurate to a few metres, and the altitude.
  • When: the date and time it was taken, sometimes with the time zone.
  • What with: camera or phone model, lens, and sometimes serial numbers that link photos to one device.
  • Who: artist, copyright and camera owner fields, when they've been filled in.

Beyond EXIF

Photos can also carry XMP (editing history from apps such as photo editors), IPTC captions and credits, plain text comments, a small preview image, and extra data after the image itself, such as depth maps some phones add. The viewer lists each of these separately.

Why ImgWrench

  • Plain words. Fields are named, not shown as tag numbers.
  • Batch view. Up to 20 photos at once.

Frequently asked questions

How do I view the EXIF data of a photo?

Drop the photo into the tool above. Its camera, lens, settings, date taken and GPS position appear straight away, along with a list of every other kind of metadata the file carries, such as editing history and comments. You can check up to 20 JPG, PNG or WebP photos at once, and nothing is uploaded while you look.

What information does EXIF data contain?

Usually the camera or phone model, the lens, exposure, aperture, ISO and focal length, and the date and time the photo was taken. Many phones add the GPS position where it was taken, and some cameras store their serial number. Editors often add software names, editing history or a copyright notice. The viewer lists all of these in plain words.

How do I find where a photo was taken?

If the photo has GPS data, the viewer shows a GPS location inside badge and the position as latitude and longitude, with a Copy button. Paste the numbers into any map app to see the place. If there's no badge, the file has no position saved, which is common for screenshots and for photos taken with location turned off.

Why does my photo have no EXIF data?

The metadata was never written or has been removed. Screenshots and images exported from many editors don't carry camera data, and images downloaded from websites often have it removed. Formats matter too: this tool reads JPG, PNG and WebP, so a GIF or HEIC file shows as not covered rather than empty.

Which file formats can the EXIF viewer read?

JPG, PNG and WebP, which covers most photos shared online. It reads EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments and colour profiles in all three, and the extra data some phones store after a JPEG. GIF, AVIF, BMP and HEIC files aren't covered yet, and the tool tells you so instead of reporting them as clean.

How do I remove the EXIF data I found?

Click Remove metadata under the photo, or use the remove EXIF data tool, which cleans every photo as soon as you drop it. Removal is lossless: only the metadata bytes are taken out, so the picture stays exactly the same. The colour profile and orientation are kept so the photo still looks and sits right.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The EXIF viewer runs entirely in your browser, so your photos never leave your device and are never sent to a server, including the GPS data inside them. Everything is read locally from the file. You can check this yourself: open your browser's network tab while you view a photo, and you'll see that no image data is sent anywhere.
