EXIF data viewer
See the hidden data that your photos carry. This viewer reads the EXIF metadata inside a picture and lays it out clearly: the camera and lens, the exposure settings, the date it was taken and the GPS location. It all runs in your browser, so your files never leave your device, and when you want the data gone it hands the photo straight to the Remove EXIF tool.
100% private. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded.
Why view EXIF data with frisqoo
Nothing is uploaded
Your photos are read inside your browser. They never reach a server, which matters most for a file that may hold your home address in its GPS tags.
See where it was taken
When a photo carries GPS tags you get the coordinates and a link that opens the exact spot in Google Maps, only when you choose to click it.
Full camera and lens
The camera make and model, the lens, the focal length and the 35mm equivalent are read straight out of the file.
Every exposure detail
Aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure bias, metering and flash are laid out so you can read how the shot was made.
A whole set at once
Add many photos and each gets its own card with the full breakdown, so you can scan a batch quickly.
Free, with no caps
No sign-up, no watermark and no daily quota. Your device is the only real limit.
How to view EXIF data
- Add your photos. Drop them on the box or pick them from your device, one or many.
- Read the metadata. Each photo shows its camera, lens, exposure, date and GPS location.
- Strip it if you want. Press Remove this metadata to open the same photo in the Remove EXIF tool.
What a photo actually carries
Most photos from a phone or camera hold far more than the picture. A typical JPG records the make and model of the camera, the lens, the aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and the date and time down to the second. If location was switched on, it also holds the latitude and longitude, and often the height above sea level.
None of this shows in the image, which is why it slips through when you share a file. The viewer brings it into the open and groups it under camera and lens, exposure, date taken and location, so you can see at a glance exactly what a photo would reveal.
Reading the GPS location safely
The Location group is the one that matters most for privacy. When a photo carries GPS tags, the viewer converts them to plain decimal coordinates and shows a link to open that spot in Google Maps in a new tab.
The map is never loaded on its own. It opens only if you click the link, so simply viewing a photo does not send its coordinates anywhere. If a photo has no Location group at all, it holds no GPS data.
Viewing only, never changing
This tool reads your file and nothing more. It does not write to the photo, so your original stays exactly as it is. That makes it safe to inspect anything without worrying about altering it.
When you do want the data gone, press Remove this metadata. The same photo is handed to the Remove EXIF tool on your device, where you can strip the metadata and download a clean copy. The picture is not re-encoded, so there is no quality loss.
Which formats can I read?
- JPG is read in full, from the camera and lens down to the GPS location and any embedded thumbnail.
- TIFF is read as a whole, since a TIFF file is itself the metadata container.
- PNG is read from its EXIF chunk when the photo has one.
- WebP is read from its EXIF chunk, the same tags a JPG would carry.
- HEIC and AVIF are recognised but not parsed yet. Their reader is coming soon, so for now they are reported rather than decoded.
The viewer reads the metadata straight from the bytes of the file, so what you see is what the photo really holds, not a guess.
Why it matters before you share
A photo straight from a phone can quietly carry the exact spot it was taken, the device that took it, and when. On a marketplace listing that spot is your street. On a holiday photo posted while you are away, it is the fact that you are away.
Seeing the data first tells you whether a photo is safe to post. If it is not, the same page hands it to the Remove EXIF tool so you can strip it and share the clean copy instead.
FAQs about EXIF data viewer
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is hidden information saved inside a photo by the camera or phone. It can include the GPS location where the photo was taken, the camera and lens, the exposure settings, and the date and time. It travels with the file when you share it, even though it never shows in the picture.
How do I view EXIF data?
Add your photo, and the viewer reads it on your device and lays the data out in groups: camera and lens, exposure, date taken and location. Nothing is uploaded, so it works the same on a phone as on a computer.
Does it show the GPS location of a photo?
Yes, when the photo has GPS tags the viewer shows the latitude and longitude and a link that opens the spot in Google Maps in a new tab. The map only opens if you click it, so your location is never sent anywhere on its own.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. They are read by your own browser and nothing is sent to a server, which is exactly what you want when the file may hold your home address in its GPS tags.
Which formats can I read?
JPG, TIFF, PNG and WebP are read in full. HEIC and AVIF photos are recognised but their metadata reader is coming soon, so for now they are reported rather than parsed.
What information does EXIF include?
Commonly the camera make and model, the lens, the aperture, shutter speed and ISO, the date and time down to the second, the orientation, the software used, and the GPS latitude, longitude and altitude when location was switched on.
Why does a photo show no EXIF data?
Some photos simply carry none. Screenshots, images saved by many apps, and files that were already cleaned often have no EXIF, so the viewer marks them No EXIF metadata found and there is nothing to show.
Does the viewer change my photo?
No. This tool only reads the file and never writes to it. Your photo stays exactly as it is. If you want the data removed, press Remove this metadata to get a cleaned copy from the Remove EXIF tool.
How do I remove the EXIF data after viewing it?
Press Remove this metadata. Your photo is handed to the Remove EXIF tool on your device, where you can strip the data and download a clean copy. The picture itself is not re-encoded, so there is no quality loss.
How do I see where a photo was taken?
Add the photo and look at the Location group. If GPS tags are present you get the coordinates and a link that opens the exact spot in Google Maps. If there is no Location group, the photo has no GPS data.
How do I view EXIF data on an iPhone or Android phone?
Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap the box, and pick a photo from your camera roll. The data is read on the phone, so nothing is uploaded and there is no app to install.
Can I view the metadata for many photos at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and each one gets its own card with the full breakdown, so you can scan a whole set quickly.
Does it show the camera and lens?
Yes. When the photo records them you get the camera make and model, the lens make and model, the focal length and the 35mm equivalent, alongside the exposure settings.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily cap. Your device is the only limit.
