Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in image files by cameras and smartphones. It includes information like camera model, lens, exposure settings, date/time, and sometimes GPS coordinates.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No! All processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Is this tool really free?

Yes! The EXIF Viewer is 100% free with no hidden costs, watermarks, or signup requirements. View and export metadata from unlimited images at no charge.

What image formats are supported?

We support JPEG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF formats. However, note that PNG and WebP files may not always contain EXIF data, as these formats handle metadata differently than JPEG.

Why doesn't my image show any metadata?

Some images don't contain EXIF data. This can happen if the image was edited and saved without preserving metadata, downloaded from social media (which strips metadata), or created digitally without embedding EXIF information.

What is IPTC and XMP data?

IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) metadata includes information like captions, keywords, creator, and copyright. XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) is Adobe's format for storing metadata, often used for ratings, labels, and editing history.

Can I export the metadata?

Yes! You can copy the metadata as JSON to your clipboard, download it as a JSON file, or export a human-readable text report. This is useful for cataloging, documentation, or further analysis.

How do I download my processed images?

The EXIF Viewer displays metadata only - it doesn't modify your image. To save the metadata, click the Copy JSON button to copy to clipboard, or click Download JSON / Download Text Report to save the metadata file to your device's default download folder.

Does this work on mobile/phone?

Yes! The EXIF Viewer works perfectly on iPhone, Android phones, and tablets. The interface is fully responsive and touch-friendly, so you can view image metadata on the go.

How long does processing take?

Processing is instant! Metadata extraction typically takes less than 1 second per image. Larger images or those with extensive metadata may take 2-3 seconds. Since everything runs in your browser, speed depends on your device's performance.

What browsers are supported?

This tool works on all modern browsers: Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+, Edge 90+, and Opera. It also works on mobile browsers including Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android. For best performance, keep your browser updated.
