A small EXIF image metadata reader.
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 into four objects:
image: basic TIFF properties about the imagethumbnail: basic TIFF properties about the embedded thumbnailexif: full exif datagps: GPS/location data about the imageinteroperability: interoperability information
Not all of these properties will always be defined.
Here is some example output:
