Exif Viewer: Uncovering Hidden Metadata in Your Photos
Exif Viewer is a free Chrome extension developed by zrq1320 that allows users to delve into the depths of their favorite images. Unlike most apps that delete EXIF data from images to protect sensitive information, Exif Viewer lets you uncover hidden metadata and discover when and where a photo was taken.
But what exactly is EXIF data? Short for Exchangeable Image File, it is a standard format used to store interchange information in digital photography image files. This includes details such as shutter speed, exposure compensation, F number, metering system, flash usage, ISO number, date and time of capture, white balance, auxiliary lenses used, and even GPS information for geolocation.
Using Exif Viewer is simple. Just upload any photo to the extension, and it will read and display the metadata contained within. From the date and time of capture to camera settings and geolocation coordinates, you can uncover a wealth of information about your photos.
With Exif Viewer, you can gain a deeper understanding of your images and explore the hidden stories behind them.
