The owner of the image can add them manually using any external software such as GIMP or Photoshop. Descriptive metadata → These manually added by photographer.The technical metadata is generated mainly by the devices that take the image. Technical metadata → This type of metadata generally includes technical information about an image, such as camera details, DPI, shutter speed, file size, the software used to create the image, the date and time it was captured or create the image, the image format and some other details.We are going to find three different types such as: 2 View the metadata of an image from the Ubuntu terminal.XIFr is a fork of wxIF which again is a WebExtension fork/port of the older "legacy type extension" FxIF. XIFr is open source, the repository is on GitHub. 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. Some websites overrides the browser's default right-click context menu. If you choose to skip this introduction, let me at least give you a quick little browser tip: I have created a little introduction page to quickly get started with xIFr and see what the "Deep Search" is all about: But don't worry, there's no hidden agendas. This permission is required for xIFr to be able to read meta-data in images, no matter which domain they are embedded from. By shift-clicking when selecting xIFr in browser's context-menu, you will force xIFr to look for images larger than a specified size (The size is configurable). This is in my opinion the most important feature distinguishing xIFr from other Exif-viewers.Īlso, with Deep Search you can avoid overlayered logos and icons. You won't even know if you actually were right-clicking directly on an img element or not. In 95% of the times, it just works as you expect. 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. Most other Exif viewers for Firefox only works if you can right-click directly on an html img element. It works sooo well - in my own very humble opinion :-) It is probably a matter of personal preferences, but you should really check the "deep search" feature. 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.īecause I felt other Exif readers annoyed me or I felt they were missing something. Launch it from the browser's right-click context menu. XIFr is a viewer for EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata in jpg image files.
