About Image info & EXIF
Reads an image's dimensions, file size, format and any embedded EXIF — camera, timestamp, GPS coordinates — and prints the lot as JSON in your browser without sending the file anywhere.
A photo straight off a phone carries far more than the picture. Typically that means the make and model of the device, the lens, the exposure settings, the exact second the shutter fired, and latitude and longitude accurate to a few metres. People check for that with an online EXIF viewer, which means uploading the very photo whose location they were worried about to a stranger's server.
This reads the file into memory and parses it with exifr. You get the filename, the MIME type your browser assigned, the size in human-readable units, the pixel dimensions, the megapixel count, and every EXIF field found, merged into one JSON block. The fields worth hunting for are latitude and longitude, DateTimeOriginal, Make and Model. When there is nothing there you see no EXIF found.
An empty result is normal rather than a fault. Screenshots, generated graphics and most PNGs never had metadata; social platforms strip it on upload; editors usually drop it on save. Treat the absence as good news but not as a guarantee of anonymity, because the pixels themselves still show a street, a window view or a reflection, and XMP and IPTC blocks are not broken out in this view.
How to use Image info & EXIF
- 1Drop a photo onto the panel.
- 2Click Analyze.
- 3Read the JSON block, looking for latitude and longitude, DateTimeOriginal, Make and Model.
What it won't do
- Parses EXIF; XMP and IPTC blocks are not extracted separately.
- Reports metadata but does not change it — removal is the EXIF stripper's job.
- Output is raw JSON rather than a formatted table, so fields appear exactly as the file names them.
Common questions
How do I check if a photo has GPS location data?
Drop it onto this page and click Analyze: if the output contains latitude and longitude fields, or GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude, the photo records where it was taken. Those coordinates are usually accurate to within a few metres and they survive being emailed, put in shared storage or sent as a file attachment.
What can EXIF data reveal about me?
Usually your device make and model, the lens, exposure settings, the date and time down to the second, and often the GPS position of the shot. Some cameras write a body serial number, and files that have been edited frequently name the software used. Taken together that is enough to place a person somewhere at a moment.
Why does my image show no EXIF at all?
Because most images genuinely have none. Screenshots and exported graphics never had any; Facebook, Instagram and X remove it when you upload; and saving through an editor or a converter usually discards it. Original camera and phone files are where you find EXIF, and copies of copies rarely carry it.
Do I have to upload a photo to read its metadata?
No, and it is worth being suspicious of viewers that require it. Every byte of parsing here happens in the tab you already have open, using your own processor. The photo is read from disk into memory, examined, and discarded when you close the page.

Why this one doesn't upload your file
There is no server to upload to. This page is a static file, and the work happens in your browser using the same graphics and WebAssembly code that renders every other site you visit. Your file is read from disk into memory, processed, and handed back as a download. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the network entirely and it keeps working. The longer explanation
