Java Exif Viewer

Java Exif Viewer is an application you can use to examine the EXIF information of JPG files retrieved from digital cameras. It lists these details in a table and gives you the possibility to play slideshows as well as to perform basic file operations, such as copy or move.

It gets installed on the computer quick and easy, as long as you already have Java Runtime Environment installed.

Concerning the interface, the utility has just one window with a built-in file explorer that you can use to locate photographs and view their EXIF details, namely the name, original date, F-number, flash, exposure and orientation.

By opening the context menu of a selected file, it's possible to rename, delete, copy or move it to a different location. Moreover, you can play a slideshow with all images from the current directory, pause and resume it, loop the slideshow, and change the UI theme.

When it comes to program settings, you can set the delay time before the table is filled with EXIF details, hide images without EXIF header, establish the delay time before the image loading starts, pick the sorting depth, and indicate the image extensions to take into account by Java Exif Viewer.

You can instruct the program to save images with the changed orientation, change the default cache size, disable image preloading, set the interpolation method and background color, as well as modify the delay time between two slides.

We haven't come across any stability challenges in our testing, since Java Exif Viewer didn't hang, crash or prompt errors. It used a minimal amount of CPU and RAM, and it didn't interfere with other running programs. Thanks to its intuitive interface and options, it can be effortlessly handled by all sorts of users.
