What Is an EXIF Metadata Viewer?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a block of metadata that cameras and phones write into JPEG files. It records the make and model, exposure time, aperture, ISO, the date and time of capture, and — if location was enabled — the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken.
This viewer reads EXIF without any library. It scans the JPEG for the APP1 marker, reads the TIFF header to detect byte order, then walks the IFD0 directory, the Exif SubIFD, and the GPS IFD, pulling out the human-useful tags. GPS coordinates stored as degree-minute-second rationals are converted to decimal and linked to a map.
EXIF is a privacy double-edged sword: it documents your gear and settings but can also expose exactly where a photo was shot. Use this viewer to audit what you are about to share. Parsing happens entirely in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.
