How to Read Image Metadata Using Apache Tika

Many image formats include metadata about the Image. JDeli provides an Apache Tika plugin to extract image metadata.

Note: you will need Apache Tika on your classpath to use this feature. You can download Tika here.

Currently, we support the following formats:

  • BMP
  • GIF
  • HEIC/HEIF
  • JPEG/JPG
  • JPX/JP2
  • JXL
  • PNG
  • TIFF/TIF
  • WEBP

Example Usage

try (final TikaInputStream tik = TikaInputStream.get(Paths.get(file))) {
    final MetadataParser parser = new MetadataParser();
    
    final ToXMLContentHandler xmlH = new ToXMLContentHandler();
    
    // Ability to set a password if necessary
    final Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
    // metadata.set(PDFParser.PASSWORD, "password");
    
    // parseContext is not required so can be null
    parser.parse(tik, xmlH, metadata, null);
} catch (final IOException | SAXException | TikaException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
