How to add camera settings to a photo

Updated 2026-09-20

What you are making

Many photographers like to show how a picture was taken: the camera, the lens, and settings such as f/1.8, 1/250 s and ISO 400. Those details are already stored inside the photo file as EXIF data. A framed photo prints them next to the picture, so they stay visible even after you share it.

Shutterlune reads the EXIF data in your browser and lays it out on a frame. Your photo is not uploaded anywhere while you do this.

Before you start

Use a JPG or PNG that came straight from your camera or phone. Files exported by some editing apps, screenshots, and pictures saved from messaging apps often have no EXIF data. If that happens, you can type the details in yourself.

Step by step

  1. Open Shutterlune and drop your photo onto the page, or click to choose it. You can add several photos at once.
  2. Open Camera details. If your photo has EXIF data, it is already filled in. If a value is wrong or missing, type the right one; what you type replaces the detected value.
  3. Pick a frame. Minimal is a clean white mat with the settings centered below. Film Strip adds sprocket holes. See all 14 frame styles to choose one that fits your photo.
  4. Fine-tune the text. Tap a line on the preview to select it, drag to move it, and drag the corner dot to change its size. In the Custom panel you can change the font, weight and color, or add a caption.
  5. Crop or rotate the photo. Choose Move photo, then drag to reposition, pinch or scroll to zoom, and use the crop shapes for common ratios such as 4:5 or 9:16.
  6. Download the finished image, or use Share to send it to your favorite app.

Tips

  • Text stays readable. Auto color picks light or dark text depending on what is behind it, so it works on both bright and dark photos.
  • Choose your date style. The date can be shown as 2026.09.20, 09/20/2026, 20/09/2026 and more. Change it in Camera details.
  • Most social apps do not show a photo’s EXIF data. Printing the settings onto the image is the way to keep them visible after you post it.
