Frequently Asked Questions

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing metadata in image files. When you take a photo, your camera or smartphone automatically embeds information like camera model, date/time, exposure settings, and sometimes GPS coordinates into the image file.

Yes! Our viewer supports RAW formats from major camera manufacturers including Canon (CR2, CR3), Nikon (NEF), Sony (ARW), Adobe DNG, Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Fujifilm (RAF), and more. RAW files typically contain the most comprehensive metadata.

EXIF contains technical camera data (settings, date, GPS). XMP is Adobe's extensible format for editing history, ratings, and keywords. IPTC is used by news agencies for captions, credits, and copyright. Professional images often contain all three.

Several reasons: screenshots don't have EXIF data, social media platforms often strip metadata for privacy, image editing software may remove it, or privacy settings on your device may prevent EXIF from being saved. PNG files also typically don't contain traditional EXIF data.

Yes, your files are completely secure. All metadata extraction happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for your photos and their metadata.

Many cameras embed a small preview image inside the file's metadata. This thumbnail allows quick previewing without loading the full image. Our viewer can extract and display these embedded thumbnails, which is especially useful for large RAW files.

For privacy, you may want to strip EXIF data before sharing photos. Many image editing tools can remove metadata, or you can use our JPG Compressor which removes EXIF data during compression. Some social platforms automatically strip this data when uploading.
