What camera took this photo — frequently asked questions

How can I tell what camera took a photo?

Drop the photo onto this page. If the file still contains its metadata, the camera or phone make and model — and usually the lens and settings — are read from it and shown instantly. Everything runs in your browser; the photo is never uploaded.

Can you tell what phone took a picture?

Yes, if you have the original file. Phones record their model in the photo's metadata — e.g. Apple iPhone 15 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S24 — along with the lens used and the exposure settings. Screenshots and social-media downloads usually have this removed.

Why does my photo show no camera information?

Most common reasons: the photo was downloaded from a social network (they strip metadata on upload), it's a screenshot (no camera involved), or the metadata was removed while editing or exporting. Try the original file straight from the camera or phone.

Can I find out who owns the camera?

Not who, but sometimes which. Some cameras write a unique serial number into every photo, and photographers sometimes embed their name in owner/copyright fields — both are shown here when present. Nothing can identify a person from the image content itself.

Does this work for photos from Instagram or WhatsApp?

Usually not — Instagram, Facebook, X, and WhatsApp photo mode strip metadata on upload, including the camera model. Files shared by email, AirDrop, cloud link, or WhatsApp document mode usually keep it.

Can this identify the camera of an AI-generated image?

AI images have no camera, so there's no genuine camera model to find. Some AI tools do write their own software tags, which can be a clue: a file with no camera fields but a software tag naming a generator or editor was likely not taken by a camera.

What settings can be read along with the camera?

When present: the lens model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, flash status, and the date and time. Together they describe exactly how the shot was made — great for learning from photos you admire.

Is my photo uploaded when I check it?

No. The photo is read entirely in your browser, on your own device. It's never sent to a server, stored, or shared — and once loaded, the page even works offline.

Does it work with RAW and HEIC files?

Yes — iPhone HEIC photos and TIFF-based RAW files such as NEF and CR2 carry the same camera metadata, and it's read here. Your browser may not display a preview for those formats, but identification still works.

Is this camera identifier free?

Yes — completely free, no account, no upload. To browse the full metadata of your whole photo library on iPhone and iPad, the EXIF Viewer by Fluntro app is a one-time purchase.

Private by design

This tool was built so your photos never have to leave your device. Here's exactly what that means for your data.

Nothing is uploaded

Your photo is opened and read entirely inside your own browser. It is never sent to a server, stored, or shared — once this page has loaded, it even works with your connection switched off.

No account, no tracking

There is no sign-up, no advertising cookies, and no analytics watching what you do here. The only thing saved on your device is your light or dark theme preference.

Your location stays yours

If a photo contains GPS coordinates, they are shown only to you, on your screen. We never see them, and any map link opens only if you choose to click it.

Nothing to collect

Because no personal data leaves your device, there is nothing for us to collect, log, or process. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Metadata is read from your file exactly as it was saved and is shown “as is.” It can be missing, altered, or inaccurate — for example, timestamps depend on the camera's clock and GPS can be approximate — so please don't rely on it as proof for legal, forensic, insurance, or safety decisions. This tool is provided free and without warranty; see our Terms & Disclaimer for the details.
