About the EXIF Viewer
Cameras and phones write EXIF data into every photo: make and model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash, the date and time, and often the GPS position where you were standing. Editing apps add XMP (sometimes including an editing history), PNG files can carry text chunks such as author and software, and many JPEGs embed a small thumbnail of the photo as it was when it was taken.
Drop a photo and the viewer reads these blocks straight from the file's bytes in your browser. That covers EXIF in JPEG, PNG (eXIf), WebP and TIFF; XMP; ICC colour profiles; IPTC; JPEG comments; and PNG text and time chunks. HEIC and AVIF photos can be read but not cleaned. The values are converted into plain terms, so 1/250 s, f/2.8 and 50 mm instead of raw fractions, and GPS degrees, minutes and seconds become a decimal position with a link to OpenStreetMap.
The privacy panel flags what's worth knowing before you share the original file: an exact location, camera and lens serial numbers, a stored name, and an embedded thumbnail that some editors forget to update, so it can reveal a part you cropped out. Most social networks strip metadata when you upload, but email, messaging apps that send "original quality", cloud links and file transfers usually keep it. Use the EXIF remover to clean a copy.
