Visionneuse de données EXIF

À PROPOS DE CET OUTIL

Upload a JPEG photo and this tool reads the EXIF metadata embedded in the file by the camera or phone that took it — camera make and model, lens, date and time taken, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, and GPS coordinates if location services were enabled. Photographers use this to review the exact settings behind a shot they liked, or to compare settings across a batch of photos. It's also useful as a privacy check: many phones embed precise GPS coordinates into every photo by default, and reviewing that data before sharing a photo publicly can prevent revealing your home address or location history.

COMMENT UTILISER

1. Upload the JPEG photo you want to inspect.
2. Let the tool read and display the embedded EXIF fields automatically.
3. Review camera and shot settings like ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.
4. Check the GPS section specifically if you're concerned about location data.
5. Note that PNG and WebP files generally won't show camera EXIF data, since most tools strip or never embed it.

CAS D'USAGE COURANTS

• A photographer reviewing the aperture and shutter speed used on a favorite shot to replicate the look later.
• Someone about to post a photo publicly who wants to check whether it contains GPS coordinates before sharing it.
• A buyer verifying the timestamp and camera model on a photo submitted as proof for an online marketplace listing.
• A hobbyist comparing EXIF settings across several photos from a shoot to understand what produced the sharpest results.
• A journalist or researcher checking a photo's metadata for basic authenticity clues, like capture date and device model.

CONSEILS ET ERREURS COURANTES

• Many phones embed exact GPS coordinates by default — check this before posting vacation or home photos publicly, since it can reveal your precise location.
• Editing or re-saving a photo in some apps strips EXIF data entirely, so if the viewer shows nothing, that's often the reason rather than a tool error.
• Social media platforms and messaging apps commonly strip EXIF data automatically on upload, so a photo downloaded from Instagram or WhatsApp usually won't have metadata to view.
• EXIF timestamps rely on the camera's internal clock being set correctly — a wrong clock will show a wrong date and time despite the field otherwise looking valid.

AUTRES QUESTIONS

Why does my PNG or WebP photo show no EXIF data?

EXIF is a JPEG and TIFF metadata standard; PNG and WebP either don't support the same fields or most tools that create them never write camera EXIF data in the first place.

Can I remove or edit EXIF data with this tool?

This tool is read-only for viewing metadata; to strip data before sharing, look for an export or 'remove metadata' option, or re-save the photo through an editor that discards EXIF.

Does the GPS field always mean a photo was geotagged?

No — GPS EXIF data only appears if the camera or phone had location services enabled at the moment of capture, so many photos, especially from dedicated cameras, have no location data at all.

Can EXIF data be faked or edited to mislead someone?

Yes, EXIF fields including the timestamp and GPS location can be edited with common software, so metadata alone shouldn't be treated as definitive proof of when or where a photo was taken.
