Extension summary

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.

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 -

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

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.
