What is EXIF data?: EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in JPEG photos by cameras and smartphones. It stores information about how and when the photo was taken: camera model, date, exposure settings, GPS location, and more.
Why is my photo missing EXIF data?: Social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) strip EXIF data from uploaded photos, primarily for privacy reasons (GPS location). Photos edited and saved by some apps also lose EXIF data. If you need EXIF preserved, share photos directly from your camera or phone without uploading to social platforms first.
Does this tool upload my photos?: No. EXIF data is read entirely in your browser from the file you select. Your photo never leaves your device.
Can I see GPS location data?: GPS coordinates are stored in a separate GPS IFD within EXIF. This viewer shows the core EXIF fields — if your photo has GPS data, the raw coordinates may appear. For a map view, you'd need to paste the coordinates into Google Maps manually.
