A Java library (with a .NET port) for reading metadata such as Exif, IPTC, XMP, and ICC profiles from image, video, and audio files. It supports many formats including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, WebP, MP4, and QuickTime.
Use cases
- read exif data from jpeg photos in java
- extract xmp metadata from images
- get camera and lens info from photo files
- read iptc caption and copyright fields
- extract metadata from mp4 and quicktime videos
- parse icc color profiles from tiff files
When to choose
- you need to read media metadata in Java or .NET
- you need broad format coverage (Exif, IPTC, XMP, ICC) in one library
- you want a mature, well-maintained Maven/nuget package
When to avoid
- you need to write or edit metadata, not just read it
- you work in a language other than Java or .NET
- you need raw pixel/image processing rather than metadata
