The EXIF Data Viewer by SpeedyUtils is a fast, privacy-focused, and entirely browser-based tool that allows users to extract and analyze EXIF metadata from image files. EXIF, short for Exchangeable Image File Format, is the standard that defines metadata embedded in image files generated by smartphones, digital cameras, and many modern imaging devices.
This hidden metadata includes details such as camera make and model, timestamp, GPS coordinates, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, orientation, and even embedded thumbnail previews. By providing a robust interface to view and export this information, the EXIF Data Viewer is ideal for photographers, forensic investigators, journalists, web developers, and anyone curious about the story behind an image.
Best of all, this tool runs entirely client-side. That means none of your files are uploaded or stored anywhere — everything happens securely and instantly in your browser.
EXIF metadata is often invisible during normal image viewing, yet it contains valuable insights that can reveal a great deal about how and where a photo was taken. From professional use cases to casual curiosity, there are many reasons to view and export this data:
Unlike many EXIF viewers that require installation or upload images to a server, SpeedyUtils EXIF Viewer works locally, respects your privacy, and is designed to be beautiful, intuitive, and fast.
Simply drag your images onto the viewer or use the file picker to select one or multiple images. Supported formats include .jpg, .jpeg, .tiff, and others with EXIF data.
Once your image is selected, metadata is immediately displayed — no waiting, no network delay. All processing is done right in your browser.
If your image contains GPS coordinates, the tool plots them on a live map using Leaflet and OpenStreetMap, providing a visual reference of where the image was taken.
Upload multiple images at once. Each file’s EXIF data is shown in an expandable section, making it easy to compare metadata across photos.
If an image contains an embedded thumbnail, it is rendered beneath the metadata display, giving a quick visual reference.
Every image’s metadata can be exported as a .json file for further analysis or archival use.
Export all image metadata at once in a ZIP file. Ideal for researchers and investigators handling many images.
GPS data and multi-value tags are formatted for readability — no messy key-value repetition, just clean, comma-separated insights.
No images are ever uploaded. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript and modern HTML5 APIs.
Using the EXIF Data Viewer is simple and requires no technical expertise:
No setup, login, or learning curve. Just load, drop, and explore.
Understand camera settings that produced your best shots by viewing EXIF tags such as aperture, ISO, shutter speed, and lens model.
Validate a photo’s origin using GPS coordinates and timestamps. Identify manipulated images or trace device history through embedded software tags.
See what devices your community uses to create content. Validate influencer media before reposting. Track authenticity without third-party tools.
Organize your image collection by location and timestamp. Combine metadata with digital scrapbooking or cloud albums.
Teach students about photography, data privacy, or file formats using real-world examples of metadata embedded in photos.
We are actively developing the EXIF Viewer based on user feedback. Upcoming features include:
Primarily .jpg, .jpeg, .tiff. Some .webp, .heic, and .png files may show partial metadata, but these formats often lack EXIF support.
No. All processing is done locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
Yes. The viewer is fully responsive and works on all modern smartphones and tablets.
Not all devices embed GPS data. Also, platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp often remove metadata.
Currently, RAW formats are not supported. We recommend exporting RAW images as JPEGs with embedded EXIF for analysis.
In today’s digital landscape, photos are more than just pixels — they’re data-rich artifacts. Whether for professional, legal, or personal use, accessing EXIF metadata can unlock powerful insights. The EXIF Data Viewer by SpeedyUtils gives you full control over that hidden layer, in a way that’s fast, private, and easy to use.
Try the tool today — upload an image and uncover what it’s been silently telling you all along.
