Exify is a Chrome extension designed for photography enthusiasts and professionals who want quick access to photo metadata directly on the web. It displays detailed EXIF information such as camera and lens used, focal length, aperture, exposure time, ISO, and optional data including date taken, location via Google Maps, metering and exposure modes, bias, and software.

This extension allows you to view this information simply by hovering your mouse over images, offering a sleek, unobtrusive overlay. Users can customize settings to toggle the overlay per site, choose a compact display size, and enable or disable the feature by default. Additionally, the histogram can be displayed through its settings dialog. Exify is completely free of ads and tracking, prioritizing user privacy while providing valuable photographic details effortlessly.

User reviews

Users appreciate Exify for its clean, lightweight design and ability to show key EXIF data easily, often without extra clicks. However, multiple reviews note it displays only limited metadata and sometimes fails on recent Firefox versions. Users desire features like image resolution display, whitelisting sites instead of blacklisting, and hiding icons when no EXIF data is present. Overall, it is considered a good extension but with room for improvement.

Pros

Provides the most important EXIF details

Functionality meets user expectations well

Cons

Displays only limited EXIF metadata, missing full details
Does not work properly on latest Firefox versions on some systems
No option to whitelist sites, only blacklist
Lacks option to show image resolution which some users want
Shows icon even when no EXIF data is available, which some users find unnecessary
