HEICPix / HEIC EXIF reader

See what's hidden in your HEIC

Every iPhone photo carries invisible metadata: which iPhone took it, the lens, the exact GPS coordinates, the date, the exposure settings. Drop a .heic below to see all of it. Nothing uploads — your photo stays on your device.

Why this matters for privacy

Most people don't realize their iPhone photos carry GPS coordinates accurate to a few meters. If you post a kid's photo on Facebook, screenshot a delivery to a neighbour, or share a photo from inside your home — the embedded metadata can tell strangers exactly where you live.

Worth checking before posting publicly. And if you find something sensitive — use the strip-EXIF tool to make a clean copy in one click.

Does this work on non-iPhone HEIC?

Yes — any HEIF/HEIC file from any camera (Samsung Galaxy, Canon R-series, Sony) uses the same container format with EXIF metadata. The reader works on all of them. Some fields (like Apple's specialized capture metadata) only appear on iPhone files; standard EXIF fields appear everywhere.
