Read every EXIF tag from a JPEG
Pull camera make, model, lens, exposure, ISO, focal length, GPS, and more from any JPEG. Runs entirely in your browser.

How it works
Pick an image, tune the options, then download the result. Everything runs in your browser.
- 01
Drop a JPEG
Only JPEG carries the EXIF block this tool reads.
Files stay in memory as an
HTMLImageElement— the original bytes are never uploaded, and EXIF metadata is preserved until you explicitly transform it.jpeguploadcanvaslocaldecodeinput · bytesjpeg · loadedphoto.jpg

Parser walks the TIFF
The APP1 EXIF segment contains a TIFF/IFD structure with all tags.
Encoder quality is exposed where the format supports it — JPEG and WebP get a
0–1quality slider; PNG is lossless. Options re-render the canvas immediately.parseoptionslive previewencoderqualityifd0 · tunableexif + gps · liveMake · Model · Lens · ISO

Inspect the grid
Every populated tag shows up — exposure, focal length, GPS, and dates.
Pixel work runs on the Canvas 2D context —

Copy or map
Grab the whole set as JSON, or open the GPS location in Google Maps.
Downloads ship via a hidden anchor with an object URL — no server round-trip, and the file on disk is untouched. The output filename inherits a sensible suffix.

Browser-only image work that scales
Convert with quality control
JPEG/WebP let you pick a 0–1 quality. Default 0.92 is a good compromise of size and visible quality.
PNG isn’t free
Use PNG only for transparency or sharp edges. For photos, WebP is smaller at the same perceived quality.
Strip EXIF for privacy
Photo EXIF often contains GPS, camera model, and timestamps. Strip before sharing public uploads.
Watch the colour profile
Convert to sRGB before web export. Wide-gamut images render oversaturated in non-managed browsers.
AVIF when it’s available
AVIF beats WebP on size at the same quality. Detect support via <picture> with fallbacks.
Lazy-load below the fold
Add loading="lazy" on <img>. The browser handles scheduling — no IntersectionObserver needed.
When to use this tool
Common workflows it speeds up.
Sanity-check uploads
Verify orientation and date before publishing. Decoded into a Canvas 2D context — original bytes never leave the tab, so you can process customer-uploaded photos, internal screenshots, or sensitive diagrams without privacy concerns.
px-perfectPhoto organisation
Sort and rename batches by capture date. Encoders expose quality 0–1 where the format supports it (JPEG, WebP); PNG and AVIF stay perceptually lossless. Pick 0.85 for web, 0.95 for archival, 0.7 for thumbnails.
quality-tunableLens / body audits
Catalogue which gear shot which frame. Pair with the EXIF Stripper before sharing user-uploaded photos publicly. Camera serial numbers, GPS coordinates, and timestamps often hide in image metadata and leak more than the picture itself.
format-awareML training data
Mine focal length and exposure metadata. Output preserves colour profile (sRGB) so it renders consistently across browsers, monitors, and print pipelines. Wide-gamut workflows can opt into Display P3 for modern Apple devices.
EXIF-safeForensics
Confirm capture time and device for evidence. Re-runs only on option changes, never on window resize, so the canvas stays responsive on large images. drawImage uses the browser's bilinear filter for fast resampling.
client-sideGeotagging
Pull lat/lng for travel maps. Downloads as .png, .jpg, .webp, or .avif with the correct MIME so editors apply native handling on save. The filename inherits a sensible suffix derived from the input.
