EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is metadata that is embedded in a photo file. It contains information about the device that captured the photo, such as the make and model of the camera or smartphone, and settings used by the device at the time the photo was taken, such as the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. EXIF data also includes the date and time the photo was taken, and sometimes the location where the photo was taken if the device's GPS was turned on.
Here are some examples of the types of information that might be included in EXIF data:
Date and time the photo was taken
Camera make and model
Aperture setting
Shutter speed
ISO speed
Focal length of the lens
Flash setting
White balance setting
GPS coordinates (if the device's GPS was turned on)
You can view the EXIF data of a photo by opening the photo in a photo editing software or using a free online EXIF viewer. Some social media platforms, like Facebook and Instagram, also allow you to view the EXIF data of a photo by clicking on the photo and selecting the "Info" or "Details" option.
