EXIF Data Extractor
What is EXIF Data Extractor
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded inside photos by cameras and smartphones. It records everything about how and where a photo was taken: camera make and model, lens information, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, GPS coordinates, date and time, and more. This tool reads and displays all available EXIF data directly in your browser — your image is never uploaded to any server.
How to use
- Click the upload area or drag and drop a JPEG, TIFF, or HEIC image.
- Wait a moment while the tool parses the embedded metadata.
- Browse the results organized into sections: File, Camera, Capture Settings, GPS Location, Image Properties, and Credits.
- Click the map link (if GPS data is present) to see the exact photo location in Google Maps.
- Click Copy as JSON to export all metadata in machine-readable format.
When to use it
Publishing photos and worried one might leak a home address? Drop each image in before it goes live and you can see at a glance whether GPS coordinates are still embedded. In the same pass you can confirm the shooting date, camera settings, and copyright fields read exactly the way you want them to.
Frequently asked questions
What image formats are supported?
The EXIF parser works with JPEG files, which account for the vast majority of photos from cameras and smartphones. TIFF and HEIC may have partial support. PNG files rarely contain EXIF data.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your image data never leaves your device.
Why is there no GPS data in my photo?
GPS data is only present if the camera or phone had location services enabled at the time of shooting. Many cameras (DSLRs without GPS modules) do not record GPS. Apps and software that strip metadata before saving also remove GPS.
What is the difference between Date taken, Date digitized, and Date modified?
Date taken (DateTimeOriginal) is when the shutter was pressed. Date digitized (DateTimeDigitized) is when it was converted to digital form — often the same. Date modified (DateTime) is the last time the file was saved or edited.
Can I remove EXIF data after reading it?
This tool reads EXIF data only. To strip metadata from images, use dedicated tools like ExifTool, ImageMagick, or export without metadata from Lightroom or Photoshop.
