exif — Reads Exif data from image

Description

public Intervention\Image\Image exif([string $key])

Read Exif meta data from current image. Image object must be instantiated from file path to read the EXIF data correctly.

Availability

The Imagick driver comes with built-in exif support since version 2.3.9 of this library. Otherwise PHP must be compiled in with --enable-exif to use this method. Windows users must also have the mbstring extension enabled. When both the Imagick driver and the extension are available, the extension will be used.

$data = Image::make('public/foo.jpg')->exif();
// read model of the camera
$name = Image::make('public/foo.jpg')->exif('Model');
