Features

• Format details: bit depth, colour type, interlacing, GIF frame count, progressive JPEG, WebP variant
• Capture settings: camera, lens, aperture, shutter, focal length, ISO, exposure compensation, flash, date taken
• Orientation translated into words ("rotated 90° CW") instead of a bare 6
• A warning at the top when GPS is present, plus coordinates you can paste into a map
• Explains why there is no EXIF when there is none (screenshots, forwarded images, stripped metadata)
• Exports as a text report or JSON, ready for a ticket or a script
• Read-only: your file is not modified and nothing is fetched
• Nothing is uploaded and no server is involved

How to use

1. Drop an image in
2. The report appears below in monospace, ready to copy

FAQ

Why does my photo have no camera settings?

Three common reasons. It is a screenshot or an image someone sent you — screenshot tools write no EXIF and chat apps usually strip it when forwarding. Or the image has been through a "compress and optimise" tool, many of which clear metadata by default (this site's own converter and compressor do, because it makes the file smaller). Or location recording was switched off in the camera app. In the first two cases the data genuinely is not in the file, rather than being unreadable.

How do I remove the location before sharing a photo?

The converter and compressor here both produce new files with no EXIF, so a single pass clears the coordinates and the capture settings while also shrinking the file. On a phone, iOS asks whether to include location when sharing, and most Android galleries offer a "remove location" option. One caveat: many social platforms strip metadata themselves, but sending the original through a chat app, sharing via cloud storage, or attaching it to a forum post usually does not.

Why does the EXIF time differ from the file time?

The EXIF time is the local time the camera recorded, with no time zone attached; the file time is rewritten by the system whenever the file is copied, downloaded or edited. For photos the EXIF time is therefore more trustworthy — while screenshots have no EXIF at all and only a file time. Note too that if the camera clock was never set, the EXIF time is wrong as well, which is common on second-hand cameras.

Is the image uploaded?

No. Parsing means reading the file's bytes, entirely in local memory — the tool does not need a network connection at all, and works offline. Checking an image's metadata is usually motivated by privacy (deciding whether it is safe to post), and that is exactly the kind of work that should stay local.
