EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standardised metadata block that most cameras and smartphones embed in every JPG and TIFF they produce. Inside you'll find: camera make and model, lens info, date and time to the second, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash status, white balance mode, and — if location services were enabled — GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken. Newer iPhones write HEIF/HEIC with the same tag set. Photoshop and Lightroom add their own XMP block on top of EXIF for editing history, keywords, ratings, and caption text.
Photos from a modern phone with location services enabled quietly embed GPS coordinates in every shot. For travel photography this is a gift — you can retroactively map where each shot came from. For anything you publish on social media, it's a leak: every photo you upload from home, from the office, from a private location, carries the exact latitude-longitude of that place unless the platform strips it (and many don't). Most users have no idea. This tool makes that invisible metadata visible — so you can see what's actually in the file before you send it.
Beyond EXIF, professional image workflows use XMP (for Photoshop/Lightroom edit history, ratings, colour labels, keywords) and IPTC (for editorial caption, byline, credit, copyright). If you open a stock-photo download, the IPTC block usually contains the photographer's credit and usage rights. XMP blocks can grow surprisingly large — sometimes several KB of editing-history logs — and the 'Show raw metadata dump' section reveals all of it so you can understand everything a file is carrying.
Drop in a JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF, or AVIF file and the viewer summarizes the important fields first: camera, date taken, GPS coordinates, dimensions, format support, and privacy warnings. If you need the full technical detail, expand the raw metadata dump to inspect every parser-visible field before deciding whether the photo is safe to share.
The viewer focuses on metadata that browser-based parsers can safely expose, including common EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, and format-specific fields. That covers the information most people need before sharing a photo publicly. It is not a forensic lab, and unusual proprietary maker notes or damaged files may not expose every hidden byte. For everyday privacy checks, the important fields are surfaced first.
The image is read by exifr and small format-specific parsers entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device. This matters: EXIF metadata can include location data, personally-identifiable camera serial numbers, edit histories, and internal file paths — material many users would consider private. A server-side viewer would log, index, or cache your file; this one can't.
Once you've seen what's in your image, if it's more than you wanted to share, use the Photo Metadata Remover linked from this page to produce a clean copy with embedded metadata removed. JPG, PNG, and WebP stay in the same format; HEIC, HEIF, and AVIF are exported as clean JPG files because browsers cannot reliably write those formats back out. The combined workflow - inspect, then remove - gives you practical control over what your photos are disclosing.
EXIF (camera make/model, date, exposure, GPS), plus common XMP and IPTC fields when the browser parser can expose them. The full raw dump is available in a collapsible panel.
Yes. It works as an EXIF viewer for common photo fields, and it also checks for GPS, XMP, IPTC, and other parser-visible metadata when those fields exist.
Yes. It can inspect common metadata in HEIC/HEIF iPhone photos, including GPS coordinates and capture details when those fields are present and readable in the browser.
JPG and HEIC (iPhone photos) almost always do. TIFF and DNG carry extensive EXIF. PNG and WebP sometimes carry EXIF but often don't. Images exported from Photoshop typically include XMP.
Photos taken with a smartphone that had location services enabled include GPS coordinates. This is often exactly what you want (travel memories) and occasionally exactly what you don't (publishing a selfie from home). The tool shows the coordinates and links to OpenStreetMap.
No. The viewer reads the file in your browser and does not upload your photo to Convertful.
Use the Photo Metadata Remover linked from this page. It removes parser-visible EXIF, GPS, and common metadata blocks when present and gives you a clean image to share publicly.
