Features & Capabilities

xIFr is a powerful browser extension that allows you to view detailed metadata embedded in images, including EXIF, IPTC, and XMP formats. It offers a unique "deep search" feature that can locate image data even when images are layered or set as backgrounds, which many other viewers miss. With xIFr, view geo-coordinates and map locations right from the context menu.

This open source addon integrates seamlessly with your browser's right-click menu, offering quick access to comprehensive metadata analysis for any image on the web. It supports recent Firefox versions and ensures privacy with transparent permissions. Whether you're a photographer, researcher, or curious user, xIFr provides an enhanced, user-friendly metadata viewing experience unlike other tools.

User Reviews

Users largely praise xIFr for reliably exposing EXIF/XMP data with a clean, dark-mode UI and privacy-conscious behavior. Reviewers describe it as reliable and feature-rich, with some noting minor UX gaps such as a missing close button and an unresizeable popup. A few also mention a CCleaner-related issue and a desire for quicker save options, but these are less common than praise for core functionality.

Pros

Shows EXIF and XMP metadata from images
Reliable performance and feature-rich functionality
Well-designed UI with a clean layout and dark mode
Privacy-respecting approach / respects user privacy

Cons

UX polish gaps: missing close button and a popup that's not resizable (reported by multiple users)

Is xIFr Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

xIFr requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

xIFr is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
