[](#phpexif-v072---)

PHPExif is a library which gives you easy access to the EXIF meta-data of an image or video.

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
---------------

- 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 \[images\]
