Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data and why does it matter?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It records technical details about how the photo was taken, including camera settings, date/time, and potentially GPS location. This matters for photographers learning their craft, for privacy (as it can reveal location), and for verifying photo authenticity and copyright information.

Can I see GPS location from photos?

Yes! If the photo was taken with a device that has GPS enabled (like most smartphones), the EXIF data will include precise GPS coordinates showing exactly where the photo was taken. Our tool will display these coordinates and optionally show the location on a map. This is important to check before sharing photos online to protect your privacy.

Do all images have metadata?

No. Photos from cameras and smartphones typically have extensive EXIF data, but images created in graphics programs, downloaded from social media (which often strips metadata), or edited with tools that don't preserve EXIF may have little or no metadata. Screenshots generally don't contain EXIF data either.

Is my uploaded image stored or shared?

No. Our EXIF viewer processes images entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device - they're not uploaded to any server. This ensures complete privacy and security for your photos. Once you close the page, all data is immediately cleared from your browser's memory.
