EXIF Metadata Viewer

EXIF data can include the camera make and model, lens information, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude), date and time the photo was taken, software version used to edit it, and dozens of other technical fields. Not all fields are present in every image — it depends on the camera or device used.

If privacy matters, generally no. GPS coordinates can reveal your home address, workplace, or travel routes. Camera serial numbers can link multiple photos to a single device. Always strip metadata before sharing personal photos publicly. Most social media platforms do strip GPS data on upload, but you should not rely on this.

Usually not. Screenshots are created programmatically by your operating system without camera hardware involvement, so they don't embed EXIF camera data. This tool will show "No metadata found" for most screenshots. Some devices may add basic metadata like screen dimensions or creation date, but GPS and camera data will be absent.

No. EXIF metadata is stored separately from the actual pixel data in the image file. Stripping it removes only the metadata tags — GPS coordinates, camera settings, dates, and other embedded information. The visual content of the image remains completely unchanged. File size may decrease slightly since the metadata bytes are removed.

Most major platforms strip GPS data specifically — Instagram, Twitter/X, and Facebook all remove location coordinates from uploaded photos. However, they may retain other metadata like camera model or creation date. You should not rely on platforms to protect your privacy — strip metadata yourself before uploading to be certain.
