PHPExif serves as a wrapper around some native or CLI tools which access this EXIF meta-data from an image video. As such, it provides a standard API for retrieving and accessing that information. Supported tools --------------- [](#supported-tools) - Native PHP functionality (exif\_read\_data, iptcparse) \[images\] - [Exiftool](http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool) adapter (wrapper for the exiftool binary) \[images and videos\] - [FFmpeg/FFprobe](https://ffmpeg.org) adapter (wrapper for the exiftool binary) \[videos\] - [Imagick](https://www.php.net/manual/de/book.imagick.php) adapter \[images\] Installation (composer) ----------------------- [](#installation-composer) ``` composer require lychee-org/php-exif ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) [v0.3.0+](Resources/doc/usage.md) Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Please submit all pull requests against the correct branch. The release branch for the next version is a branch with the same name as the next version. Bugfixes should go in the master branch, unless they are for code in a new release branch.
