Exif Viewer Extension

This free tool lets you open an image from your device, or from a URL, and view its Exif data.

You can view the Exif data of a image on any web page by right-click the image and selecting View Exif Info. If the photo contains GPS data, you can view a Google map of the photo's location in a browser tab.

There's lots of interesting information held in image files for you to explore. Some images have GPS data, so you can see exactly where it was taken.

Some camera makes (like Nikon and FujiFilm) also record the camera's shutter count in the Exif data.

A history of your last 10 image URLs is saved for faster selection.

Explore other tools from LinangData from the More tools menu, including: Color Picker, Photo Editor; Sketch; the LinangData YouTube channel, etc.

Release Notes:
1.0.20 - fixed css issue
1.0.19 - bug fixes

Andi K (ID: 000000f6912cc3b8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/01/2023 This extension just opens a link to an ugly website full of ads. Cannot handle data urls. Preferable alternative in the terminal using curl and exiftool: curl URL | exiftool -f -G -a -struct -fast -

asad ali (ID: 000000e976748587) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/26/2021 I Like this extension. Works for me perfectly on stored images. I am just curious if it does not collect my images to its own database or something

Inge Jones (ID: 0000000c2d91c434) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/31/2021 I wanted to know exactly what field was showing what info, and it didn't bother showing the full EXIF fieldnames, so I could have been viewing any old metadata fields that happened to hold content.

Chris Orbz (ID: 0000002232516463) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/07/2021 Not a real extension. Just forwards the URL of an image (via a context menu item) to a web based tool. Doesn't pass any arguments in the URL properly either. This could be accomplished without installing anything using a bookmarklet. In fact, I'll write one right now - add a new 'EXIF' bookmark to your Bookmarks Bar and after you copy/paste the line below, you'll need to add javacript: to the beginning because Chrome will parse it out for security reasons. (There's no issue though, you can probably see what the javascript does even if you don't know how to code.) Then open any JPEG image in its own tab and click the EXIF bookmark. Exact same results, except it'll work 100% of the time. javascript:location.href='https://linangdata.com/exif-reader/?url='+window.location
