EXIF data is information that is embedded inside JPEG images. The EXIF data tells what camera model took the photo, the date and time the photo was taken, the shutter and exposure settings, the photo location, etc. If you need to view this data, you need to have a proper Exif viewer. Some of these are free, while others are programs you have to purchase.

2. Kuso Exif Viewer
Kuso Exif Viewer is also easy to use and is similar to the Opanda IEXIF viewer. It looks more like the typical Windows app though so may be more comforting for heavy Windows users to use to see EXIF data.
