Image properties can provide important information pertaining to any Web image that you may need for research, a blog post, a project, etc. Because of this, it’s nice to have a convenient way to access that information. Whether you want to avoid Google Chrome’s element inspector or just want an easier way to view the properties of a Web image, here’s what you can do.
Install the Image Properties Context Menu extension for Google Chrome.
When you find an image that you want to know more about, right-click on it and select “Image Properties.”
A small window will pop up with your image and the following information: location, source, dimensions, ALT text, data URI, file size, MIME type. If one of these parameters isn’t available, then the field will remain blank.
Clicking anywhere on each field will automatically highlight/select the entire field, which makes it easy to copy the data.
You can also zoom in/out of the image by using the magnifying slider to the right of the image – when you hover your mouse over the magnifying glass, it will turn into a slider. Now isn’t that so much quicker than using the element inspector or doing a search to find out more about an image?
