EXIF Viewer
Inspect image metadata — dimensions, MIME type, file size, last modified and EXIF orientation — all client-side.

About EXIF Viewer
EXIF Viewer provides a dedicated, focused workspace: Inspect image metadata — dimensions, MIME type, file size, last modified and EXIF orientation — all client-side. Using it is a three-step job: 1) Open EXIF Viewer and review the inputs, units, and data-handling notice shown on its page, 2) Enter the information requested by this tool and adjust only the options that apply to your task, 3) Review the result and use the available copy, download, or reset controls. Built as a focused utility in our image tools library, it is available in a modern desktop or mobile browser without requiring account registration or software installation.
EXIF Viewer is a free, browser-based exif viewer from ProfitTool. Inspect image metadata — dimensions, MIME type, file size, last modified and EXIF orientation — all client-side. Review any usage notes shown on this page before relying on its availability. Review the tool's data-handling notice before entering sensitive information; some features store settings locally or contact external services.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Uploading camera-resolution photos to a 1200px container
The browser downloads all 6000 pixels and throws most away. Resize to roughly twice the display width, no more.
Re-compressing an already-compressed JPEG
Each save cycle bakes in more artefacts. Always start from the original file, not from a copy you exported yesterday.
Forgetting a background fill on transparent PNGs
Converting PNG to JPEG without choosing a fill colour turns transparency into black. Pick white or your brand colour explicitly.
If you came here from the Image Watermark, keep JWT Claims Inspector open in a second tab.
Key Terms Explained
- WebP
- A modern image format supported by every current browser that typically saves 25–35% over JPEG at the same perceived quality.
- Lossy vs lossless
- Lossy compression discards data you're unlikely to notice for far smaller files; lossless preserves every pixel but saves much less.
- EXIF orientation
- Metadata written by phone cameras that tells software how to rotate the photo. Ignoring it is why uploads sometimes appear sideways.
- LCP
- Largest Contentful Paint — the Core Web Vital that usually measures how quickly your hero image finishes rendering. Aim for under 2.5 seconds.
Popular Use Cases
- Case 1Prep product photos, hero banners and blog covers for the web.
- Case 2Compress screenshots for tickets, docs and Slack without a native app.
- Case 3Resize social graphics to Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and OG-image specs.
- Case 4Batch-process large uploads for e‑commerce, portfolios and newsletters.
Pro Tips & Best Practices
- Choose an output format supported by your destination; JPEG and WebP do not preserve transparency.
- Compare dimensions, visual quality, and byte size after export; compression results depend on the source and settings.
- Check the individual tool's accepted formats, batch support, and data-handling notice before processing sensitive images.
Why this matters
Images are usually the heaviest thing on a web page, which makes them the single biggest lever you have over load time, Core Web Vitals and bounce rate. A hero image that drops from 1.8 MB to 180 KB can shave whole seconds off a mobile page load on a 4G connection.
A Repeatable Step-by-Step Workflow
1. Review the inputs
Check the fields and instructions on EXIF Viewer first. Enter only the information requested, and review its data-handling notice before sharing sensitive material.
2. Use relevant options
If EXIF Viewer offers options, change one at a time and compare the result. This makes it easier to identify which assumption or setting changed the output.
3. Check the result
Compare the output with your inputs and expected units. For financial, health, legal, or other consequential decisions, confirm assumptions with an authoritative source.
4. Keep what you need
Use the copy, download, or save controls that are actually available on this page. Do not assume settings persist between visits unless the tool says so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which image formats does EXIF Viewer support?›
Accepted input and output formats depend on EXIF Viewer. Check the file picker and controls on this page; browser support can also vary by format and device.
Do I need to install anything to use EXIF Viewer?›
No installation, extension or account. Open the page and start — you can also add it to your home screen for one-tap access.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?›
Check the data-handling notice shown with EXIF Viewer. Some image tools process files in the browser, while other features may send data to a named service.
Can I use EXIF Viewer for commercial or client work?›
Yes. Output from this image tools tool is yours to use commercially, with no attribution requirement and no licence to buy.
Will EXIF Viewer reduce my image quality?›
It depends on the operation and output settings. Lossy encoding can reduce quality, and changing formats does not guarantee a smaller file. Compare the result with the original.
What should I do if EXIF Viewer gives an unexpected result?›
Re-check your input formatting first, then reload the page to clear any stale state. If it persists, send us the input through the suggestion form and we'll fix it.
How large a file can this exif viewer handle?›
The practical limit depends on the accepted format, browser, device memory, and the operation. If processing fails, try a smaller image and check the specific error or file guidance.
Does it strip EXIF and location data?›
Do not assume metadata is removed. Check this tool's output behavior and inspect the exported file before sharing a photo that may contain location or camera metadata.
