Drop a photo above and this tool reads its EXIF metadata: the hidden block of data most image files carry alongside the actual pixels. That can include the camera or phone make and model, the lens and exposure settings used, the exact date and time the photo was taken, and, if location services were on, the GPS coordinates of where it was shot. None of it is visible when you just look at the picture, but it is readable by plenty of software the moment someone opens the file. Read more about what this means for privacy in what your photos are telling people.

This is a read-only viewer, not an editor. It parses the file's structure locally in this browser tab and shows you what it finds; it never modifies, re-encodes, or uploads the file. If you'd rather strip this data out before sharing the photo, use Remove Image Metadata instead — that tool rebuilds the file without its metadata, byte for byte, with no quality loss.

FAQ

Is my photo uploaded anywhere to read this?
No. The file is read entirely in this browser tab using a JavaScript library that parses the file structure locally. Kit-Bin never receives the file, and nothing about it is sent anywhere.
Why does my photo show no GPS data?
Most likely one of two things: the app that saved or shared the file already stripped its metadata (very common for photos re-saved from social media, messaging apps, or screenshots), or location services were off for the camera app when the photo was taken. Either way, no GPS data means none was found in this file, not that the tool failed to look.
Can I remove this data instead of just viewing it?
Yes. Remove Image Metadata strips EXIF, GPS, XMP, and comment data from a JPEG or PNG without re-encoding it, so the pixels are unchanged.
Does this work on HEIC or iPhone photos?
Yes, HEIC files carry EXIF and GPS data the same way JPEGs do, and this tool reads it directly from the HEIC file. If you want a JPEG copy afterward, use HEIC to JPG.
What if the file has no metadata at all?
That's a normal result, not an error. Many web-downloaded, re-saved, or social-media images have had their metadata stripped already, and some formats never carry it in the first place.
