There are a lot of ways to parse the output which you can test yourself. We can also export the output as php array for this just add -php after the command e.g exiftool /home/username/.png -php

See an example below exiftool /home/username/.pngĪnd we got some data about the image as you can see in the screenshot below. e.g the image I want to use an image stored in a folder of my Ubuntu VPS testing environment. Step 2: Now run it by typing exiftool and your image location which you want to inspect. Step 1: Fire up your terminal and install perl exiftool by typing the below command sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl Method 1# Retrieving Exif Metadata Using Command Line Tool There are many ways to do this, but here I will be touching 4 methods. Let’s Move to the steps of retrieving Exif Metadata So the information stored in it is called Exif Metadata The most camera has these settings by default which lead to store some personal info that was never meant to expose. Exif can also store on what date that picture was taken and it can also contain GPS location in it. Who last modified it and when was it modifiedĮxif (Exchangeable Image Format) data shows information about your camera model, camera settings, ISO, exposure was used for taking a picture.Metadata contains some elements described below

Metadata provides information about other data. This information can also be useful for the photographer if they want to find out what camera or settings were used for some particular photos. This can also be useful if you want to review your picture like what was the shutter speed, It’s copyright information, Camera Model. This method could be useful for starting an Image forensic even though it would not enough for some forensic research but at least it can give a good start. In this post, I will show you how can you extract sensitive and juicy information from any image like when it was created, modified, what camera was used and a lot of other info.
