View the metadata inside a JPEG
JPEG is where photo metadata lives most richly. Drop a .jpg to decode its camera, exposure, GPS and timestamp tags.
Drop a photo to read its EXIF
Drag & drop, paste, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded — analysis runs in your browser.
How JPEG stores metadata
JPEG files carry metadata in application segments — most importantly the APP1 marker, which holds the EXIF block your camera writes and any XMP data added by editing software.
Because JPEG is the default format for most cameras and messaging apps, it usually contains the fullest set of tags: make and model, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO, and often GPS coordinates. This viewer reads all of them locally in your browser.
How to view JPEG metadata
- 1Drop your JPEG file onto the box above, or click to browse — you can also paste an image.
- 2Everything is decoded locally in your browser using JavaScript, so your file is never uploaded.
- 3Review the camera, exposure, GPS and timestamp tags — then strip them with the EXIF Remover if you want to share the photo.
Frequently asked questions
How do I see the EXIF data of a JPG?
Drop your .jpg or .jpeg file onto the box above. ExifPixel decodes its EXIF segment in your browser and lays out the camera, exposure, GPS and date fields.
Do JPEGs always contain metadata?
Usually, but not always. Screenshots, exported graphics and files that have been stripped may contain little or no EXIF. If nothing shows up, the metadata was likely removed.
Can I remove the metadata from a JPEG?
Yes. Use the EXIF Remover to strip all metadata from a JPEG losslessly, or Remove GPS Data to delete only the location.
