Extract Metadata From Image

Extracting Common Image Information

The GroupDocs.Metadata Java API allows extracting common image properties such as width and height, MIME type, byte order, etc for all supported image formats. The code snippet is given below for more information on this useful feature.

1. Load an image
2. Extract the root metadata package
3. Use the FileType property to obtain file format information

try (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(Constants.InputPng)) {
	ImageRootPackage root = metadata.getRootPackageGeneric();

	System.out.println(root.getImageType().getFileFormat());
	System.out.println(root.getImageType().getByteOrder());
	System.out.println(root.getImageType().getMimeType());
	System.out.println(root.getImageType().getExtension());
	System.out.println(root.getImageType().getWidth());
	System.out.println(root.getImageType().getHeight());
}
