EXIF Viewer - Photo Metadata, GPS & Remover

EXIF Viewer is the privacy-first way to see the hidden story behind any photo: the camera, the exact settings, and the GPS location where it was taken, shown on a real map. It is also a one-click EXIF remover, so you can strip metadata before you share. Every image is read 100% on your device and nothing is ever uploaded. 🚀 🚀 WHY THIS EXIF VIEWER IS DIFFERENT Most photo metadata viewers are a decade old, bury their best feature in a settings menu, and quietly phone home. EXIF Viewer is built around three simple ideas: show every detail clearly, put the GPS location on a map you can actually see, and let you remove EXIF data the moment you want privacy. Right-click any image on the web and choose View EXIF metadata, or drop a file straight into the popup. It is the photo metadata viewer that gets out of your way: fast, clean, and entirely local. ⚡ EVERYTHING IN THE FREE PLAN EXIF Viewer is a full photo metadata viewer that costs nothing to start: ✓ View full EXIF metadata for any photo: make, model, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter speed and focal length ✓ See the GPS location on an interactive map and open it in Google Maps with one tap ✓ A plain-language privacy report that shows exactly what a photo can reveal about you ✓ Copy any single field, or every field at once, with one click ✓ Read the date taken, orientation, color space and resolution ✓ Right-click "View EXIF metadata" on any image, working from the moment you install ✓ Empty fields are hidden automatically, so you only see what matters 🔓 WHAT PRO UNLOCKS When you are ready for more, EXIF Viewer adds these Pro power tools: ✦ Remove EXIF data: strip metadata and download a clean, privacy-safe copy of any photo ✦ Batch view: drop a whole folder and read every photo's metadata at once ✦ Batch strip: remove EXIF data from many images in one go before you share them ✦ Export: send all metadata to CSV or JSON for cataloguing, research and analysis ✦ Compare: line up two photos side by side and spot the differences in their settings 🎯 WHO IT IS FOR Photographers who want to check the camera settings behind a shot, journalists and researchers verifying where an image was taken, and anyone who cares about privacy and wants to remove EXIF data before posting. If you have ever wondered what a photo metadata viewer would reveal about your own pictures, EXIF Viewer is built for you. 🛠️ HOW THE EXIF VIEWER WORKS 1. Right-click any image and choose "View EXIF metadata", or open the popup and drop in a file. 2. EXIF Viewer reads the file on your device and lays out the camera, exposure, date and GPS sections. 3. If the photo is geotagged, the GPS location appears on a map you can pan and zoom. 4. To protect your privacy, click Strip metadata and a clean copy with all metadata removed is saved to your downloads. 💡 REAL USE CASES People reach for this EXIF viewer every day to: → Check the camera settings, like shutter speed, aperture and ISO, that a photographer used on a shot you admire → Confirm where a photo was actually taken before you trust or republish it → Remove EXIF data and GPS from a picture before uploading it to a forum or marketplace → Audit a folder of images and export their metadata to a spreadsheet → Teach a photography class how exposure settings shape the final image 🔒 PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY This is the part that sets EXIF Viewer apart. Popular alternatives have been caught injecting tracking code into every page you visit. EXIF Viewer does the exact opposite: it never touches the pages you browse, never injects scripts, and never uploads your photos. The extension does not request access to all the websites you visit. The only requests it makes are to our own server at peakproductivity.online: an anonymous license check, and anonymous aggregate usage events (for example "installed" or "used a feature") labeled with a random device id and version number. These carry no personal data and never include your photos, metadata, or the pages you visit. If you choose to submit feedback through the rating prompt, that message is sent too. There are no third-party analytics SDKs and no advertising networks. You can view EXIF data and remove EXIF data knowing your photos always stay on your device. 📊 PERFORMANCE Metadata parsing happens in milliseconds, even for large RAW and HEIC files, because it runs locally with no round trip to a server. There is no background process eating your CPU and nothing running on pages where you are not actively using it. EXIF Viewer runs only when you open it, never in the background. The whole extension is a few hundred kilobytes and loads instantly. 🆚 WHY THIS OVER THE ALTERNATIVES ✓ Unlike older EXIF viewers, the GPS location is shown on a real, interactive map instead of just numbers ✓ Unlike tools that hide the feature, the right-click photo metadata viewer works the instant you install it ✓ Unlike extensions that track every page, EXIF Viewer never injects code, uses no third-party trackers, and never uploads your photos ✓ Unlike single-purpose strippers, you can both inspect a photo and remove EXIF data in one place 🛡️ SECURITY EXIF Viewer is built on Manifest V3 with no remote code of any kind. Everything it runs is bundled inside the package and reviewed by the Chrome Web Store. Because it never asks for broad access to the websites you visit, the extension simply cannot read the pages you browse. As a photo metadata viewer, EXIF Viewer only ever opens the single image you choose. ❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Does EXIF Viewer upload my photos? A: Never. This EXIF viewer reads every image on your own device, so no photo or metadata value ever leaves your computer. Q: Can it remove EXIF data and GPS before I share? A: Yes. With Pro you can strip metadata from one image or a whole batch and download clean copies, which is the safest way to remove EXIF data before posting. Q: Will it show where a photo was taken? A: If the photo is geotagged, the GPS location appears on an interactiv…
