How to use the Image Metadata Viewer

  1. Drop a photo on the box, choose one, or paste it.
  2. Read the summary of camera, date and location, or the full list of tags.
  3. Copy or export the data as JSON or text if you need it.
  4. Click Download clean copy to save the image without any metadata.

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is information that cameras and phones save inside a photo file: the device model, lens, exposure settings, the date and time, and often the GPS coordinates of where it was taken. It is invisible when you look at the picture, but anyone who has the original file can read it.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to SBGeeks or anyone else.

Free to use, with no sign-up, no limits on the number of files and no watermark added.

How it works

The tool reads the file’s bytes directly in your browser and decodes the EXIF block found in JPG, PNG and WebP files, including the camera, exposure and GPS sections. GPS coordinates are converted to decimal degrees; a map link appears, but nothing is sent to a map service unless you click it.

The clean copy is made by redrawing the picture and saving it again, which keeps the image but writes none of the original metadata. Orientation is applied first, so the clean copy is upright.

Useful for

  • Checking whether a photo contains your home location before posting it
  • Finding the camera settings used for a photo
  • Confirming when a picture was taken
  • Removing metadata from photos before sending them to clients

Limitations

  • Most social networks and messaging apps already strip metadata from uploaded photos, so images downloaded from them usually have none.
  • HEIC, RAW and TIFF files are not supported.
  • Some manufacturer-specific “MakerNote” data is shown as present but not decoded.

Questions

Can someone find my location from a photo?
If location services were on when it was taken, often yes: the GPS coordinates are stored in the file. Check with this tool and use Download clean copy before sharing originals.
Why does my image show no metadata?
It may have been removed by an app, a website or an editor that re-saved it. Screenshots and images downloaded from social media rarely contain EXIF data.
