exif-reader
A small EXIF image metadata reader.
Usage
npm install exif-reader
var exif = require('exif-reader');
// decode raw exif data from a buffer
var metadata = exif(buf);
Support is also built into jpg-stream for extracting EXIF data from JPEGs using this module.
Resulting properties are grouped as follows:
bigEndian
: determines the endianness of the buffers (in case of non-ascii data)Image
: basic TIFF properties about the imageThumbnail
: basic TIFF properties about the embedded thumbnailPhoto
: full exif dataGPSInfo
: GPS/location data about the imageIop
: interoperability information
Not all of these properties will always be defined.
All standard Exif tags are supported.
Here is some example output:
