How to Use ExifLens
- 1
Upload a photo
Drag a photo into the upload area at the top of the page, or click to choose one.JPG, PNG, and most camera RAW formats are supported, with up to 200MB per file.Your photo is never sent to a server — everything is processed inside your browser.
- 2
Read the EXIF data
As soon as the photo loads, the camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, and the date and time taken appear in the “EXIF summary” panel.Photos that went through a messaging app or social network may have had their metadata removed, so some fields might not appear.
- 3
See where it was taken on a map
If the photo contains GPS data, click “View on map” next to the location row to see exactly where it was shot.Photos without location data leave this row empty.
- 4
Calculate your ND filter exposure
The ND filter calculator shows the shutter speed detected from your photo as the base value.Pick a filter strength or type in a custom number of stops to get the long-exposure shutter speed you need in the field, then use the built-in timer while you shoot.Matching gear recommendations for the selected ND filter are shown too.
- 5
Build a camera-info frame
Use “Create a frame” in the top menu, or the button that appears after uploading, to open the EXIF Frame Generator.Add a clean camera-info frame to your photo and download it at the original resolution — handy for social media and portfolios.
- 6
Protect your privacy before sharing
EXIF data can include where and when a photo was taken and what device shot it, so sharing the original file can expose personal information.Remove the metadata with the EXIF / Metadata Remover before you post.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from photographers, pulled from across our tools and guides.
What is hyperfocal distance?+
It's the focus distance that gives you the maximum depth of field for a given focal length and aperture — everything from half that distance to infinity appears acceptably sharp.
Why do the times look wrong when I enter coordinates for another region?+
This calculator is a lightweight design that doesn't use a time-zone database — it displays the computed times in this device's (browser's) own current time zone. That's accurate for your immediate surroundings when you use "Use my location," but if you manually enter coordinates for a completely different time zone, the times shown reflect this device's time zone rather than the local time at that location.
Does enlarging a small photo make it sharper?+
No. Enlarging cannot create detail that was never there, so the photo looks blurry. That is why sizes larger than the original are not applied by default.
Why might the real upload time differ from the estimate?+
This calculator assumes your entered upload speed holds steady the whole time, which is a theoretical estimate. Real-world uploads often take longer due to network congestion, Wi-Fi conditions, or the cloud service's own processing speed.
Why does sensor size affect the result?+
Smaller sensors need a smaller circle of confusion to look equally sharp when viewed at the same size, which changes the depth of field for the same focal length and aperture.
