Introduction to ExifView

Image files (Jpeg or Tiff) created by most digital cameras contain vital information about the picture like shutter speed, aperture, ISO speed etc.  These information is embedded using Exif format. Specially designed software can be used to view these information to reveal how the picture was taken given the original file is not altered.

 

ExifView provides an easiest way to view these Exif info while you’re browsing files using Windows Explorer. When you check the file properties in Explorer, a new property page (see below) will show up if the file contains Exif information:

Download and Install

 

 ExifView Version 1.8 (72KB)

 

Copy ExifView.dll to Windows\system for Win95/98 or Winnt\system32 for Windows NT/2000. Then run following command in that directory:

           

            regsvr32.exe ExifView.Dll

 

And you're done! After ExifView installed, if you installed some new image editing software that changed Jpeg or Tiff file handling settings, ExifView property page may no longer be displayed. In this case, simply re-register the DLL again using above command.

 

To uninstall, run following command at above directory:

 

            regsvr32.exe /u ExifView.Dll

 

Then reboot. After reboot delete the ExifView.Dll file if you wish.
