LocatePic EXIF Viewer parses raw binary JPEG/TIFF/HEIC ArrayBuffers directly in your browser without uploading files to any server. It decodes IFD0 device headers, ExifIFD optical exposure settings, and GPSIFD (0x8825) geodetic coordinates with sub-second precision.

BINARY EXIF IFD REGISTERS DECODED LOCALLY

Metric	Method	Precision	Note
IFD0 (Primary Image Header)	Tags 0x010F (Make), 0x0110 (Model), 0x0112 (Orientation)	Byte-Exact ASCII/Short	Identifies exact camera body, smartphone model, and OS build
ExifIFD (Optical Telemetry)	Shutter (0x829A), Aperture (0x829D), ISO (0x8827), Focal (0x920A)	Rational 64-bit	Reveals 35mm equivalent focal length for FOV triangulation
GPSIFD (Geodetic Block 0x8825)	Lat/Lon DMS Rationals + Altitude (0x0006) + Bearing (0x0011)	±0.01 Arc-Second	Automatically converts DMS rationals to signed WGS-84 DD
Timestamps & SubSecTime	DateTimeOriginal (0x9003) + OffsetTimeOriginal (0x9011)	Millisecond + UTC Offset	Feeds directly into our Solar Azimuth verification engine

Does this EXIF viewer upload my photos to a cloud server?

Never. The binary parser reads the first 128KB of your file directly inside your browser using JavaScript DataView and ArrayBuffer APIs. Your image never leaves your device.

Why does my photo show "EXIF Stripped" in the viewer?

If a photo was transmitted through WhatsApp, Instagram, X, or Facebook, the platform re-encodes the JPEG and deletes the APP1 EXIF marker. Use our Optical Triangulation tab on the same screen to locate stripped photos.

Can I also remove EXIF data after viewing it?

Yes. Click the "Scrub & Export Clean Image" button inside the workbench to strip all metadata and download a privacy-safe copy.
