Creating EXIF METADATA RETRIEVER using Python

In this blog, we will look at a Python script that can be used to retrieve METADATA from IMAGES, and we will discuss the advantages and benefits of using Python to build this web METADATA RETRIEVER.

Metadata is “data that provides information about other data”, but not the content of the data, such as the text of a message or the image itself. There are many distinct types of metadata, including: Descriptive metadata — the descriptive information about a resource. It is used for discovery and identification.

EXIF HEIST is a powerful tool used to extract metadata of a file. It enables us to update and remove metadata of files and gives a lot of information about files.

EXIF is short for Exchangeable Image File, a format that is a standard for storing interchange information in digital photography image files using JPEG compression. Almost all new digital cameras use the EXIF annotation, storing information on the image such as shutter speed, exposure compensation, F number, what metering system was used, if a flash was used, ISO number, date and time the image was taken, whitebalance, auxiliary lenses that were used and resolution. Some images may even store GPS information so you can easily see where the images were taken!
