I've used this for a very long time. Recently it stopped working. Searching for a replacement or perhaps I will develop my own!
Updating review after developer comment - back to five stars. Somehow my interface got switched and I was able to switch it back. [Original Review] It used to work great until very recently. Now the interface has changed and you can't hit Esc to exit it (I believe I used to be able to). It also sometimes just doesn't work anymore. I right click and select "View Image Info" and nothing happens.
I loved this extension but recently, it stopped working. Is it possible to launch extension with the previous version? Does anybody know the alternative to View Image Info?
I have used this extension for years and have loved it. This latest update 6 March, has ruined it completely. The information used to be in a separate window, now it is part of the browser window and cannot be moved to compare with other image's information. Unless this changes soon it will be going away. Does anyone know of an extension that is as good as this one used to be? I'll change right now.
The App was great previously, some times the image alt text might be missing but still everything was really good. But the recent update ruined it. Image full address and image alt text wasn't showing in full, the image size is always showing 0.02KB(which is inaccurate), then we can't move the box at all. Could you revert it and improve from there instead of this format =.=
Last update is horrible. Previously, it showed the image with the image info in a very nice format. Now the format is worse and it does not show the image. Honestly, why!?
Stopped showing image preview after latest update, now only shows text info about the image. Useful but not as good as it was before. Why the change?
doesn't works on instagram web photos. i request the developer team to work on this ASAP.
I like and use it a lot, but one thing it's missing is that there is no option to see the image properties when using Developer Tools.
Add Dark Mode to reduce eye strain.
The only site it doesn't work on that I have seen so far is pixiv.net.
It's just missing information like when the image was made and such. Feels like a great comparison piece to Mozilla Firefox's window.
Stopped working
Shows me image size, which is what I wanted. Happy with it.
I use this to find out the dimensions /filetype - - this extension servers its purpose.
good tool ~
Nice. Simple to use. Very helpful, the best image property viewer in the Chrome Extension webstore that I can find. Unfortunately, in my limited experience in using this extension it often incorrectly lists the img tag Alt attribute info as blank. Not sure about the img tag Title attribute info yet. I've yet to pin down the parameters for exactly when this glitch happens, but so far it seems to be most of the time. As for improvements, it would be GREAT if this tool also listed DPI, PPI, bits per pixel, color space, and any meta data. displaying other, image format-dependent info would be good too like number of layers, animation speed, compression quality, etc. Generally speaking, the more info about an image that can be shown, the better. If you do make it to show all that extra info, maybe arrange it all in a tabbed window. I would also like to see a settings page. Right now the only user selectable settings I can think of is thumbnail display size and an option to turn off displaying the thumbnail. If you guys REALLY wanted to go all out, a feature to allow you to save the image in another format would be cool beans.
it doesnt work
Needs to work for background images. a great deal of images you see on pages are actually background to a div, or similar. This only works for img tags, which can be useful, but as a developer tool, I find it barely useful.
Can't get it to do anything, unfortunately (63.0.3239.132).
I've been using this extension for more than a year, but today it started breaking google, not letting me open pages. I get this error in the console: TypeError: Cannot set property 'onmousedown' of null at chrome-extension://jldjjifbpipdmligefcogandjojpdagn/js/gia.js:12 This is in Chrome 58
It seems to be wrong about the file type if the image has an extension like .png.webp, the image is mistakenly identified as a png file.
Such a simple tool, but an incredible a time saver!
in comparison to other extensions, this one works! a bit more love for the design and you have the fifth star.
I so desperately needed this.
It is a very helpful Extension, but with minor downside.. and that is when you want to view the image while the detail window is still open, you can't switch back to it unless you minimize the main chrome window. and if you view the properties of the same image while you've already did view it, another properties window will pop-out instead of showing the already existing one..
It has a slot for info about image Title/Alt , but it is blank for http://xkcd.com/
Broke PDF viewing for a ton of PDFs I've tried.
Very nice and thank you. Don't know why Google doesn't have this simple option built into Chrome. Then again, Chrome seems to be missing quite a few simple options.
Missing many useful information.. Uninstalling.

This is so perfect! It helps in the exact way I was hoping it would! No annoying icon, just a seamless right click function and it gives everything I need. Thanks!!!
perfect.
A really neat extension. Gives essential pix info & helps me decide whether to download the image or not. Works as advertised and works with Blink!
Since the latest Chrome update, this extension generates an error in the console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'onmousedown' of null gia.js:7 This is what is on line 7: document.body.onmousedown=function(e){ I had to disable the extension to remove the warning in the console. Fix it and I'll put back 5 stars, until then it deserves only 1.
File Size: n/a how lowly i just need this info. it is always useless
Fantastic! Couldn't believe this was missing from Chrome, now it's perfect! Thank you.
Useful extension and quick way to get properties of image without having to download to PC to analyze.
Excellent, just what I was looking for! Only slight niggle is that it does not display the image file size if the image is on a https page (try using it on any images on this page and see what I mean) - but it does display the image dimensions on secure pages file. There's another extension called 'view image info' by a Chinese developer which does show file sizes in https but it's not as pretty and it doesn't have the preview zoom, data uri or image scaling info that this extension sports. It's also a lot less polished. This is one of the few extensions that I consider essential for Chrome users.
Simple, Yet a Great Extension.
