This extension extracts and displays some of the information (camera and picture settings, GPS information if applicable, etc.) that digital still cameras embed in their JPEG digital photographs. This information is stored in “Exchangeable Image File” (Exif) format according to the TIFF specification, and may be found in JPG, TIFF, PNG, MIFF, and DNG images. The Exif meta information is organized into different Image File Directories (IFDs) within an image; manufacturers can also optionally include proprietary information in the “Maker Note” field.
The Exif Viewer interprets the stored information according to the Exif 2.2 standard, and can also understand some of the maker note information from Canon, Casio, Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus, and Panasonic. Additional manufacturers and more details for existing ones may be added in subsequent releases.
Note:
This extension has only been tested with Firefox 1.5.0.8.
The user interface needs a little work.
Copy&paste of the extracted information doesn’t work; the “Copy as HTML” facility is included as a (temporary?) workaround.
Exif Viewer reads information from files stored on your local hard drive and selected by you, and displays the results on your system. No other information is read, nor is any information sent to me or anyone else. Feel free to examine the source code if you wish to verify this.
