Photo to Info: How to Get Location, Date & Camera Details from a Photo

Searching for a photo to info tool? You want to upload a picture and see its hidden details: location, date, camera model and more. This guide shows how to get photo info and location from any image for free, what each detail means, and what to do when a photo has no data. No login is needed.

What is photo to info?

"Photo to info" means reading the hidden data stored inside an image file. This data is called EXIF metadata. Phones and cameras write it automatically when you take a picture. It can show:

• Location: GPS latitude, longitude and altitude
• Date and time: when the photo was taken
• Device: phone or camera make and model, and the lens
• Software: the app that edited or saved the file
• Image details: size, orientation and more
• Extra tags: XMP, IPTC, author and copyright fields

How to get photo info and location (free)

1. Open Photo To Info in your browser on a phone or computer.
2. Drop your image in, or tap to choose it. JPEG, PNG and WebP up to 50 MB are supported.
3. Read the results. Location fields are highlighted red, and other sensitive fields such as software and owner are highlighted amber.
4. Optional: press Clean all to download a copy with the metadata removed.

Your picture is processed inside your browser. It is not uploaded, stored or logged, so you can check private photos safely. See the How It Works page for details.

How to read the location in photo info

GPS values usually appear in one of two styles:

• Decimal degrees, for example 28.6139, 77.2090
• Degrees, minutes, seconds, for example 28° 36' 50" N, 77° 12' 32" E

Paste the coordinates into Google Maps or any map app to see the place. Remember: S and W mean negative numbers in decimal form. For a step-by-step guide, read How to Get Location Info from a Photo.

Photo info on your phone without a tool

• iPhone: open the photo in Photos and tap (i) (or swipe up on iOS 14).
• Android: open the photo in Google Photos or Gallery and swipe up or tap Details.

These panels show a short summary only. A full viewer lists every tag. Related guide: How to See and Remove Photo Info on iPhone.

Why does my photo show no location or info?

• Location Services was off for the camera.
• The photo went through an app that removed metadata, such as many chat apps and social networks.
• It is a screenshot or an image saved from a website.
• Someone cleaned the file on purpose.

Ask the sender for the original file (for example by email or "send as document") to get the full data. Read more in How to See Info on a Photo Sent to You.

No metadata? Try these alternatives

• Reverse image search tools, such as Google Lens, can help find where a picture appears online.
• Look at the picture for landmarks, signs and shop names.

These give clues only. They are not proof.

Is photo info always correct?

Not always. A phone's clock or GPS can be wrong, and metadata can be edited or removed. Treat photo info as a strong clue, not as proof of where or when a picture was taken.

Use it responsibly

Checking your own photos, or confirming where a picture you received came from, is fine. Never use photo location to find or follow someone who has not agreed to it. If you share pictures yourself, clean them first: How to Remove Location from a Photo.
