Exifr is a fast and very versatile JavaScript EXIF reading library that works everywhere, parses everything and handles just about anything you throw at it. It can handle any input: buffers, url, <img> tag and more; .jpg, .tif, and .heic files; and TIFF (EXIF, GPS, etc.), XMP, ICC, IPTC, JFIF segments. It skips parsing tags you don’t need, and reads only the first few bytes. There’s no need to read the whole file to see if there’s an EXIF file in it, or extract all the data when you just need a few tags. Instead of reading byte by byte from start to finish, Exifr jumps through the file structure from pointer to pointer, making it extremely fast and efficient!
