QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Can I check whether a photo contains GPS coordinates?
Open the original photo and look for location fields in the metadata. Coordinates appear only when they are stored in the file. Missing GPS fields do not prove that the photo was never geotagged, since metadata can be removed before sharing.
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is information that cameras and phones save inside a photo, such as the device model, the date, the exposure settings and sometimes the location.
Why does my photo show no metadata?
Messaging apps and social networks often remove metadata when a photo is shared, and screenshots or edited exports may never have had any.
Can it read HEIC photos from an iPhone?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF files from iPhones are supported, even in browsers that cannot display them.
