ExifInterface

public class ExifInterface


This is a class for reading and writing Exif tags in various image file formats.

Supported for reading: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIF, DNG, CR2, NEF, NRW, ARW, RW2, ORF, PEF, SRW, RAF.

Supported for writing: JPEG, PNG, WebP.

Note: JPEG and HEIF files may contain XMP data either inside the Exif data chunk or outside of it. This class will search both locations for XMP data, but if XMP data exist both inside and outside Exif, will favor the XMP data inside Exif over the one outside.

This method is supported for JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats.

Note: after calling this method, any attempts to obtain range information from getAttributeRange or getThumbnailRange will throw IllegalStateException, since the offsets may have changed in the newly written file.

For WebP format, the Exif data will be stored as an Extended File Format, and it may not be supported for older readers.
