Best EXIF Viewer Apps for Android: Check Photo Metadata

19 September 2026 · alternatives · exif viewer android · photo metadata viewer · exif · photography

An EXIF viewer answers simple but useful questions: when was this photo taken, with which phone or camera, at what settings, and where? Photographers use one to learn from their shots, sellers use one to check a picture before listing it, and privacy-minded users use one to confirm that the location is gone before sharing.

Your gallery app may already show the basics, but it usually hides most of the data. This guide compares dedicated EXIF viewer apps for Android so you can pick one that matches how deep you want to go.

What to look for in an EXIF viewer

• Tag depth. Basic viewers list common EXIF fields. Advanced ones also read IPTC, XMP, MakerNotes and ICC profiles.
• File types. JPEG is universal; HEIC, WebP, RAW, video and audio support varies.
• Map view. Seeing the GPS position on a map is faster than reading coordinates.
• Export. CSV, JSON or text export helps with documentation or analysis.
• Read-only vs. editing. Some people want a pure viewer; others want to fix or remove what they find.
• Privacy. Check that files are processed on the device.

For a primer on the fields themselves, read what EXIF data is and how to remove it on Android.

Comparison at a glance

“Not listed” means the feature is not mentioned in the app’s official listing at the time of writing.

The options in detail

ExifTool for Android

ExifTool for Android is our app, built on Phil Harvey’s ExifTool, and it is the deepest viewer in this list. Open a file and you see every group it contains: EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, MakerNotes, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, ID3 and more.

• Works with images (JPG, HEIC, WEBP, RAW, PSD), videos (MP4, AVI, MKV, MOV) and audio (MP3, FLAC, OGG)
• Export metadata to CSV for analysis
• Extract depth maps and thumbnails from RAW files
• When you find a problem, edit tags, fix dates, change a geotag or wipe metadata in one tap
• Batch-edit many files at once

It processes files on the device and works offline.

Pros: maximum tag depth, video and audio support, editing when you need it. Cons: ad-supported; the full tag list can feel dense if you only want camera settings.

Photo Metadata Viewer (Syrupy)

From the developer of Photo Metadata Remover, this is a focused, read-only viewer. Its listing covers camera brand, model and serial number, lens details, exposure, ISO, focal length, white balance and more, and it shows the location on a map when one was recorded.

Pros: simple, read-only, map view, few permissions. Cons: photos and EXIF only according to its listing; contains ads.

EXIF Viewer (Ligrant Apps)

EXIF Viewer combines viewing with editing and removal. Its listing names JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WEBP and many RAW formats (DNG, CR2, NEF, ARW, ORF, RAF and others), and it can print or export metadata as PDF, CSV or Excel.

Pros: broad RAW support, rich export options. Cons: images only; ads and in-app purchases.

Exif Viewer – GPS & Photo Data (Noadit, Inc.)

This app lists a long set of readable fields, from artist and software to lens model, exposure bias and GPS altitude. It can locate the shooting position on a map and hide empty fields so the list stays readable.

Pros: clean, read-only, hides empty items. Cons: standard EXIF fields only; no editing.

Image EXIF Viewer (Clement Ochieng)

Image EXIF Viewer loads JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WebP files and organizes data into camera, exposure, GPS (with an interactive map), image and date sections, plus a full raw tag list. You can share metadata as a text report or JSON, strip EXIF into a clean copy, and revisit files through a history panel. The listing states it works offline.

Pros: tidy layout, JSON export, offline. Cons: no video or audio; ads and in-app purchases.

Graphie (Pavlo Rekun)

Graphie is broader than a viewer: it can change popular EXIF tags, clear all tags, extract colors and find the shoot location. Its statistics view filters your images by ISO, aperture, color space and more, which photographers may enjoy. We compared it as an editor in our Photo Exif Editor alternatives post.

Pros: statistics across your library, color extraction. Cons: limited to popular tags rather than every metadata group.

Which one should you choose?

• You only want to peek at camera settings and location: Photo Metadata Viewer or Exif Viewer by Noadit.
• You shoot RAW and want exports for documentation: EXIF Viewer by Ligrant Apps.
• You want a tidy viewer with JSON export: Image EXIF Viewer.
• You want library-wide statistics: Graphie.
• You want every tag in photos, videos and audio, plus the ability to fix or remove what you find: ExifTool for Android.

If the viewer reveals a location you did not mean to share, our Exif Eraser alternatives guide compares removers, and GPS geotag editor apps for Android covers correcting a wrong location.

Summary

A good EXIF viewer turns invisible data into something you can act on. Lightweight viewers from Syrupy and Noadit cover quick checks, Ligrant’s and Clement Ochieng’s apps add exports, and Graphie adds statistics. For the deepest view across photos, videos and audio, plus editing in the same app, try ExifTool for Android, which is also available on iPhone and iPad.
