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.
