EXIF viewer
Drop a photo and see everything hidden inside it: the camera, the settings, the timestamp, and usually the exact spot on earth where it was taken. It's read in your browser and never uploaded.
This photo knows where you were
It carries GPS coordinates. Anyone you send the original to can read them.

Questions
What is EXIF data?
Metadata your camera writes into the photo file itself. Camera make and model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, the date and time it was taken, and on a phone almost always the GPS coordinates of where you were standing.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read in your browser and never leaves your machine. Open your browser's Network tab and drop another photo in: nothing goes out.
Which formats work?
JPG and HEIC carry the most, and both work here. PNG, TIFF, WebP and AVIF are read too, though they usually hold much less. Camera RAW files are TIFF underneath, so CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, RW2, ORF, PEF and DNG usually read fine as well.
Why does my photo have GPS coordinates in it?
Phones write your location into every photo by default. It stays in the file when you email it, upload it, or send it anywhere that doesn't strip metadata, which is most places.
How do I remove EXIF data from my photos?
This tool only reads. To strip metadata from a photo, or from a few thousand at once, Picmal does it on your Mac in a single pass, with a choice of removing everything or keeping only the parts you want. There's a longer write-up on removing photo metadata.
