Inspect Metadata with EXIF Viewer
Every digital photo contains a hidden layer of data called EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format). The **EXIF Viewer** at **Online Tool Base** unlocks this information, revealing the technical details of how, when, and where a photo was taken. From camera settings to GPS coordinates, this tool exposes the invisible footprint of your images.
For photographers, this data is crucial for learning—understanding what shutter speed or ISO was used to capture a perfect shot. For privacy-conscious users, checking EXIF data is a vital security step before sharing photos online. **onlinetoolbase.online** provides a simple, readable interface for parsing complex metadata tags from JPEG, TIFF, and RAW files.
Why Use This Tool?
Many social media platforms strip EXIF data automatically, but sending an original file via email or file transfer keeps it intact. This can inadvertently reveal your home location (via GPS tags) or expensive equipment details. Using our viewer helps you audit your files. It is also a handy debugging tool for developers working with image-processing applications who need to verify orientation tags or color profiles.
