What this exif viewer does

EXIF Viewer reads the metadata block that cameras write into JPEG files: shutter speed, aperture, ISO, lens, capture date, orientation and, when location tagging was enabled, GPS latitude and longitude.

The file is parsed locally. If GPS coordinates are present, the tool links to OpenStreetMap so you can see where the photo was taken, but the coordinates are never sent to KitJade.

Why use it

  • Check what a photo reveals before posting it publicly.
  • Confirm the capture date and camera settings for a photo archive.
  • Understand why a photo appears rotated in one app and not another.

How to use it

  1. 1Choose a JPEG file.
  2. 2Read the tag list; missing tags are simply not present in the file.
  3. 3Use the map link if GPS coordinates were found.
  4. 4Use the metadata remover if you intend to publish the photo.

Worked examples

Phone photo with location

Input

A JPEG captured with location services enabled

Output

Camera model, capture time and GPS latitude/longitude are listed.

Screenshot

Input

A PNG screenshot renamed to .jpg

Output

No EXIF tags are found because screenshots rarely contain camera metadata.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a photo has no GPS because it was taken with GPS disabled; check the tags rather than the phone settings.
  • Confusing EXIF with visible image content; the metadata can describe the camera, not what is in the frame.
  • Expecting PNG or WebP metadata to appear in this JPEG-focused viewer.

Frequently asked questions

Which file types are supported?
JPEG files are supported. PNG, WebP and HEIC use different metadata formats and are not read by this viewer.
Is the photo uploaded?
No. The image is read with JavaScript in this tab.
Why is the date wrong?
The camera clock may have been wrong, or the file may have been edited by software that rewrote the metadata. EXIF is a record, not proof.
Does removing EXIF change the pixels?
No. Removing metadata leaves the encoded image unchanged apart from dropping the metadata segments.
