xIFr од Stig Nygaard

xIFr is a viewer for EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata in image files. Launch it from the browser's right-click context menu.

Note: If you ain't using a recent version of Firefox supported by latest version of xIFr, there's probably an older version of xIFr supporting your browser.

Why another Exif viewer?

Because I felt other Exif readers annoyed me or I felt they were missing something. It is probably a matter of personal preferences, but you should really check the "deep search" feature. It works sooo well - in my own very humble opinion :-)

"Deep Search" feature?

Most other Exif viewers for Firefox only works if you can right-click directly on an html img element. But with "Deep Search" xIFr finds the image you want to see details about, no matter if it is below a layer or is defined as a background-image of another element. In 95% of the times, it just works as you expect. You won't even know if you actually were right-clicking directly on an img element or not. This is in my opinion the most important feature distinguishing xIFr from other Exif-viewers.

"Access your data for all web sites"?

This permission is required for xIFr to be able to read meta-data in images, no matter which domain they are embedded from. But don't worry, there's no hidden agendas. See the Privacy Policy.

Getting started...

I have created a little introduction page to quickly get started with xIFr and see what the "Deep Search" is all about: www.rockland.dk/xIFr/start/.

But if you choose to skip this introduction, let me at least give you a quick little browser tip:

A handy browser tip!

Some websites overrides the browser's default right-click context menu. But you can usually just hold down the shift key while right-clicking, to get Firefox's native context menu back - and thus launch xIFr...

Open source

xIFr is open source, the repository is on GitHub.
xIFr is a fork of wxIF which again is a WebExtension fork/port of the older "legacy type extension" FxIF.
