Sometimes a photo’s EXIF data gets lost along the way. Messaging apps and social media platforms routinely strip metadata on upload, export tools sometimes drop it by default, and old scanned or edited files may never have had it in the first place. This free EXIF generator lets you add or restore fields like camera make, model, date taken, and GPS coordinates directly onto a JPEG, right in your browser.
This tool is built with a few specific, legitimate uses in mind. If you are a developer or QA tester, you can create exif data on demand to check how your software handles specific camera settings, dates, or location fields, without waiting to find a real photo with the right values. If you are restoring a photo that lost its original metadata during export or transfer, you can put back the details you already know were accurate. It is also handy for photography education, letting you demonstrate what different EXIF fields look like without needing a specific camera on hand.
As with every tool here, this works as a genuine add exif data to photo online utility: nothing is uploaded to a server, and the whole process runs locally as JavaScript in your browser. Fill in only the fields you need, generate the file, and download your updated photo.
