Pricing
Buy it once. It’s yours forever.
Most EXIF apps charge every year. This one charges once — $6.99, for iPhone, iPad and Mac, including every update we ship for as long as we ship them.
- One payment
- $6.99 on the App Store. No in-app purchases, no tiers, no unlocks, no ads.
- Every device
- iPhone and iPad on the same Apple Account — and the Mac app, when it arrives, is covered by the same purchase.
- Every update
- People who bought in 2015 got bulk editing, map view, the Photos extension and the Mac app since, at no extra cost.
“A remarkable little app that I’ve been using for over a decade… the developer honors the lifetime license commitment he made. I would gladly pay the developer again for it.”— Quantum Libet, Germany · App Store review, March 2025
What it does
View. Edit. Remove.
Three jobs, done properly. Each writes to the actual photo in your library, so Photos, Lightroom and every other app see the same metadata.
View EXIF
Every EXIF, TIFF, IPTC and GPS field, right from Photos via the share sheet or inside the app. Reorder or hide tags so what you care about is on top.
How to view EXIF on iPhone
Edit EXIF
Fix a wrong date after scanning old prints, add a location to a photo from a camera without GPS, or shift the time on a whole trip's worth of photos at once.
How to edit EXIF on iPhone
Remove EXIF
Strip GPS and all metadata before you post. Overwrite in place so nobody can recover it, or keep the original and share a clean copy.
How to remove EXIF on iPhoneDark mode
It looks just as good in the dark.
A photo’s full metadata down to the shutter count, its GPS location on a map, and a whole album at a glance. Tap any screen to enlarge it.
See it in action
One minute is enough to get it.
A sixty-second tour of viewing, editing and removing metadata on iPhone — shot and edited by Sneha, who designs the app.
The video only loads from YouTube once you press play. Until then, nothing leaves this page.
Also on Mac
The same metadata, on a screen you can spread out.
Gallery, grid, list and map views. A histogram beside the EXIF. Side-by-side compare that highlights exactly which settings differ between shots. Filter a library by camera, lens, date or rating — then edit or remove metadata in bulk.

Privacy
The photo is only half of what you send.
Every photo carries a second, invisible file: where it was taken — to within a few metres — when, on what device, and often who owns that device. You never see it. Anyone who receives the file can.
For a photo of a hillside that is harmless. For the one you took in your kitchen to sell a bike, it is your front door. One of our reviewers put it better than we can:
“Would you go into a bad neighborhood and tell people there you have this valuable item that is easy to steal and resell — and here is my address? I would recommend to use this to remove tags on valuable stuff before posting, just to be safe.”— Bill fusion, United States · App Store review

Already strips it for you
Instagram · Facebook · X · WhatsApp · Messenger
Post there and the location is gone before anyone sees it.
Sends it through untouched
Email attachments · AirDrop · Google Drive & Dropbox links · The original file itself
And the original in your library keeps it either way.
Metadata isn’t the enemy. Your address is.
You want the copyright, the lens, the settings — that is your record of the shot. EXIF Viewer lets you drop just the location, or strip everything, on one photo or a few hundred, writing the change into the original so nothing can be recovered from it. Or share a clean copy and keep your own intact.

Why photographers keep it
Built for people who actually work with photos.
Photos share extension
Two taps from Photos, Mail or Messages to see the metadata — without leaving the app you're in.
Bulk edit
Select hundreds of photos and change date, time or location in one go. Shift dates by an offset or set them all the same.
Overwrites in place
Edits and removals are written to the real photo in your library, not to a duplicate — the thing reviewers love most.
Map view
See your geotagged photos clustered on a map, with the direction you were facing when you took the shot.
iPhone, iPad, Mac
One purchase, every Apple device. Full landscape support on iPad and a native window on Apple silicon Macs.
45+ fields, big files
ISO, shutter, aperture, lens, focal length, DPI, dimensions, altitude, speed, star rating, keywords — and smooth zoom on 80 MB images.
No iPhone handy?

Review Overview — Summarised by AI
Summarised from the complete text of all 619 five-star App Store reviews, 49 countries, 2015–2026. Quotes are verbatim; the counts are exact term matches across the corpus.
Reviewers describe a tool they keep for years rather than an app they try once — praised most for writing metadata changes back into the original photo, for its Photos share-sheet extension, and for a developer who answers email quickly.
What people use it for
Three jobs dominate. Reading metadata — 171 reviews mention EXIF or metadata directly, usually praising how much is shown and that the fields you need sit at the top: it “puts the most-used information right at the top before you even get into all the other data available.” Fixing location — 47 reviews mention GPS or geotagging, most often photographers adding coordinates to photos from a camera that has none: “I had a DSLR that unfortunately wasn’t able to record the location… luckily this app came to rescue.” Correcting dates — 53 reviews, including on videos, which several reviewers say no other app managed for them.
What they say sets it apart
The most repeated praise is that edits are written into the original file rather than a copy. From a reviewer digitising old family photos: “the best part is that it overwrites existing metadata (it doesn’t just create a copy of the image…) — like other apps do.” A French reviewer notes it “remplace directement la photo sur Photos de iCloud sans créer une deuxième photo” — replaces the photo in iCloud directly, without a second copy — while leaving the other EXIF fields intact. Close behind: the Photos share-sheet extension (“the action extension alone is worth the price”), batch editing across many photos at once, and a map view “that shows which direction you were looking when you took the picture.”
Recurring niche uses
Checking a DSLR shutter count before buying used (“I needed to verify the shutter count on my DSLR”); reviewing RAW files pulled in by SD card before they reach Lightroom; watching file sizes while working from an iPad; and stripping GPS before posting a photo publicly.
Support and price
Support appears in 46 reviews, almost always with surprise at the speed — one reviewer reported missing Sony ARW support and wrote back days later that “the devs already released an update for ARW files.” The one-time purchase draws repeated comment, including from a ten-year user: the developer “honors the lifetime license commitment he made… I would gladly pay the developer again for it.”
What reviewers ask for
Even in five-star reviews, the same requests recur: editing directly inside the Photos extension instead of opening the app, a larger map when setting a location, an indicator showing where the camera focused, and a list-mode album view. A few report format-specific bugs in older versions, usually followed by an update.
Note: This summarises five-star reviews only. The App Store rating is 4.7 out of 5 across roughly 1,900 ratings, so this is not a balanced view of every opinion. Generated September 22, 2026 by AI from 619 reviews.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for.
“I’ve been scanning old family photos to preserve them digitally. Exif Viewer lets me quickly change the date, time and location data. Your can even select and change metadata on multiple pics at the same time. The best part is that it overwrites existing metadata (it doesn’t just create a copy of the image with the new metadata you just changed — like other apps do). This is one of the best app purchases ever.”
— Capt. MorGUN · United States ·
Comprehensive and well-designed UI
“This app is extremely well thought out, works very efficiently, and puts the most-used information right at the top before you even get into all the other data available. Even during swiping, you immediately get access to image name, dimensions and file size as well as date taken. This is all vital information for anyone who works with photos and videos on anything more than a click-and-send level. Beyond the EXIF interface, there are also additional management tools readily available. I’ve removed EXIF data and then imported into Photoshop/Lightroom/Bridge without issue. I’ve also chosen the share option to share without EXIF information and have confirmed that also works seamlessly. The overwrite function prevents a recipient from then recovering the EXIF data using another app. Overall a brilliantly executed app. Thank you to the developers for all your hard work.”

Action Extension
“The action extension alone is worth the price. (Action extensions are the grey-scale icons you see after you tap the box-with-an-arrow-shooting-out-the-top/share/action icon while in Photos, Messages, or other apps.) I like the app for swiping through a group of photos and studying EXIF metadata, but what I really wanted was a way to see metadata that Photos doesn’t display, without leaving Photos. The extension does that. With the action extension, two taps (one on the share/action icon and one to choose View Exif) from within Photos and I can see exposure, file name, and so on, or two taps from within Mail or Messages and I can see on a map where that beautiful picture just sent to me was taken, assuming EXIF data is in the photo. And if I want to share a photo, another tap on the share/action icon, a tap to choose “Share with EXIF” or “Share without EXIF”, and the usual sharing options appear. Really sweet work flow. A tip if you’ve read this far - move the View Exif icon to be your second or third icon and manage and reorder the EXIF data tags to put the ones you use at the top.”

Saved me from being scammed on craigslist buying a camera
“About this program to look at shutter count. I was looking at the camera on craigslist the person was scamming me. I had them send me a picture supposedly from the camera they sent it from their iPhone. Busted I’m glad this program helped me. If it wasn’t for that I might’ve got cheated besides that this is a very nice program I would recommend it to anyone.”
— David Pires, CA · United States ·
Best Exif Viewer!
“Excellent app! Has the quick action you can use when browsing the Photos app, or you can use this app directly to scroll through photos. Has the full range of data available and a great map that shows which direction you were looking when you took the picture. Can be exported into maps app. All in all a very solid tool for the iPhone photographer, whether just someone using social media or for a more serious photographer.”

Love how much exif info I can edit
“By far the best exif app for ios. No other apps let me have as much control as this app. Keep it up.”

Straight answers.
Anything else? Ask support — you’ll get a reply from the two people who make the app.
What is EXIF metadata?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is data a camera or phone embeds in every photo: camera and lens model, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, date and time, and often the GPS location. EXIF Viewer by Fluntro reads 45+ of these fields from any photo in your library.
Is EXIF Viewer a one-time purchase or a subscription?
One-time purchase: $6.99 on the App Store, once, for life. It covers iPhone and iPad, and includes all current and future features. There is no monthly subscription, no in-app purchase and no ads.
Does it work on Mac?
Not yet — the Mac app arrives on 17 October 2026. It is covered by the same one-time $6.99 purchase, so it costs nothing extra if you already own the iPhone and iPad app. It will need Apple silicon and macOS 12 or later.
Can I remove the GPS location from photos before sharing?
Yes. You can remove GPS and all other EXIF metadata, either by overwriting the original in place or by creating a clean copy. You can also share directly from the app with or without EXIF.
Can I change the date or location of many photos at once?
Yes. Select multiple photos and bulk-edit the date, time and location. Changes are written to the actual photos in your library, so every other app sees the corrected metadata.
Do my photos leave my device?
No. Everything runs on-device. The app has no account, no cloud upload and no third-party analytics. The free online tools on this site also run entirely in your browser.
Is there a free version?
EXIF Viewer LITE is a free, ad-supported version with limits on albums and photo count. Most people go straight to the full app: it is $6.99 once and removes every limit.
Every photo has a story in its metadata. Read it, fix it, or erase it.
$6.99 once — lifetime. Buy once, use on iPhone, iPad and Mac. No monthly subscription, no ads, no account.
