View Full Version : Exif Viewer add-on for Firefox

For those of us who are exif hogs, theres a nifty plugin for firefox called FxIF (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5673).

What it does is it adds a menu item on the flyout menu when we right click on a photo here on DPP (or on any website for that matter). If the exif data on a posted photo is intact, FxIF will tell us what it is, without us having to hunt for the poster's flickr or picasa account to find out.

The only time it will not work is if the exif data was not uploaded with the photo to begin with, but if it is it saves the viewer a lot of time trying to figure it out or asking the photographer for it.

It also provides a Copy button in case you want to save the exif data.

Is there an Internet Explorer equivalent? Not that I know of right now, but there is an online exif viewer that does not require any downloads.

It's Jeffrey's Exif Viewer (http://regex.info/exif.cgi) and you can find it here (http://regex.info/exif.cgi).

Jeffrey even provides a button for Firefox users that has the almost the same functionality as the FxIT plugin.

Thanks to John Bueno of the Nocturnals for mentioning FxIT for Firefox on the D60KREW thread.

Ha ha ha, Andrew I think I had as much fun as you are having now when I first installed it. Try it on the sample pics on the Nikon websites too. Fascinating :)

Here are a few more online exif viewers -- all you need to do is bookmark them, no installation required.

Online EXIF Viewer (http://savanttools.com/exif.asp)

Wisegeek Exif Data Viewer (http://www.wisegeek.com/how-can-i-view-the-exif-data-of-a-photograph.htm)

The thing is you need to know the image URL to be able to paste them into the boxes on these pages, and of course opening another browser tab or window may be a hassle compared to just the right-click.

There is also a "plugin" for GOOGLE Chrome now, for us Chrome users who may be frustrated with not having an exif plugin like Firefox does.

Google Chrome button for Jeffrey's Exif Viewer (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/degoicjbkidnmcfidnohffepopnhhpkk?hl=en)

This one installs a small button at the right side of Chrome's address bar.

Just click or select an image on a webpage and then click on the blue exif button installed by Jeffrey's Exif Viewer and a new tab with the photo's available information opens up.
