EXIF is a block of information a camera writes into a photo. Looking at it tells you which camera took the picture, with which settings, and sometimes exactly where.

How to view it

  • Open EXIF Viewer and add a picture.
  • Read the groups: camera, camera settings, date, location.
  • If you see a location warning, clean the photo before sharing.

What the settings mean

  • Exposure time: how long the shutter stayed open, such as 1/250 s.
  • Aperture: the lens opening, such as f/2.8.
  • ISO: the sensor's sensitivity to light.
  • Focal length: how much the camera zoomed.

When there is nothing to see

Screenshots, edited pictures and photos downloaded from social apps usually have no EXIF data. That is normal.

Uses

  • Checking when a photo was taken.
  • Learning which settings make your best shots.
  • Making sure a photo does not reveal your location.
