I want to read properties like created_date, modified_date, creator, etc... in Java, of the below image file formats:
- GIF file
- JPEG
- TIFF
- CDR
I have used javax.imageio but I didn't find the solution.
Any help would be appreciated

You could take look at this example which uses the meta-data from a GIF to render the animation contained withinMadProgrammer– MadProgrammer2014-06-23 06:33:23 +00:00Commented Jun 23, 2014 at 6:33

Metadata metadata = ImageMetadataReader.readMetadata(imageFile);

@prasanna, you can get all those values and more using the library. Check here for information on how to access a specific tag's value.

@DrewNoakes but is there a generic approach? Especially for image dimension the only way I found with your library so far is to deal with specific implementation, while I would just like to have something like
Image#getWidth. It is kind of a pain to have to know that for jpeg that is value 3 and for png is 1. Maybe a new question?Drew Noakes
@ThanksForAllTheFish not in the library. It would be a useful addition, though tricky to get right. This issue tracks the idea, so please share your thoughts there github.com/drewnoakes/metadata-extractor/issues/10
Try Apache Tika. It's very mature and well-suported metadata extraction libraty.
