What DJI drone photos store
DJI drones write detailed EXIF into every photo, identifying the make 'DJI' and a model like 'DJI Air 3'. Crucially, they embed GPS coordinates and both relative and absolute altitude — a full record of exactly where and how high the shot was taken.
Some DJI files also carry extended maker notes with gimbal angles and flight data. This viewer reads the standard EXIF locally in your browser; strip the location with Remove GPS Data before publishing aerial photos.

What model does a DJI drone report in EXIF?
DJI photos identify the make as 'DJI' with a model such as 'DJI Air 3'. See the DJI Air 3 entry in our camera database for more.
How do I remove location from a drone photo?
