About ExifGrabber

ExifGrabber is a free tool for reading the hidden metadata your camera writes into every photo — exposure settings, lens, timestamps, GPS coordinates and more — for JPEGs, HEICs, and RAW files from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic and others.

Everything happens in your browser

The most important thing to know about ExifGrabber is what it doesn't do: it never uploads your images. When you drop a file onto the page, it's read and decoded locally, on your own device, using your browser. Your photos never touch a server. When you close the tab, nothing is left behind. See our privacy statement for the details.

What is EXIF?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for embedding metadata inside image files. Cameras and phones use it to record how a photo was taken: aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, the lens used, the date and time, and — if location services were on — the GPS coordinates where the shot was captured. ExifGrabber surfaces all of it in a clean, organized view, including an interactive map when location data is present.

Who it's for

Photographers checking their settings, buyers verifying a used camera's shutter count and origins, anyone curious whether an image carries location data before sharing it, and the simply curious who want to see exactly what their camera recorded.
