Photo Data Explorer

Photo Data Explorer is a tiny and portable software application that gives you the possibility to view digital camera photographs, along with their EXIF details.

Since there is no setup involved, you can drop the executable file anywhere on the disk and just click it to launch the app. Otherwise, you can save it to a USB flash drive to directly run it on any PC without having to make any installations beforehand. Plus, it doesn't modify the Windows registry configuration.

The GUI consists of a large window that contains a menu bar, toolbar and several panes, including for EXIF properties, maker data and summary.

The supported file types are .gif, .ani, .pcx, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .ico and .emf. After importing images from individual files or entire directories, you can preview them in the main frame, go to the previous, next, first or last picture in the current folder, zoom in and out, change the orientation, as well as add comments.

You can examine EXIT properties, maker information, and a summary. The image can be copied to the Clipboard as well as converted to a different format by just specifying the output destination, file name and extension.

Photo Data Explorer is more generous with the supported output file types than the ones available for import, and they include .png, .psd, .tiff and .wmf.

Keyboard shortcuts are available for almost all commands. The tool didn't freeze, crash or display error messages in our tests, and its impact on the computer's performance was barely noticeable.

Although it doesn't integrate rich options and customization preferences, Photo Data Explorer provides you with a fast and straightforward method for viewing digital camera files, inspecting EXIF data, and converting pictures into a wide range of formats.
