Is Exif Viewer safe?

Clean risk

View Exif metadata from local images, image URLs, or images on web pages.

This extension lets you open an image from your device or a URL to inspect its Exif data. You can also right-click an image on a web page to view Exif information, open a Google map when GPS data is present, and access a saved history of the last 10 image URLs.

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Exif Viewer contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
