Extract EXIF

Category: Image

Status: Registered and callable in the CyberChef 11.3.0 compatibility inventory.

Input / output: ArrayBuffer → string

Background: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif

What it does

Extracts EXIF data from an image. EXIF data is metadata embedded in images (JPEG, JPG, TIFF) and audio files. EXIF data from photos usually contains information about the image file itself as well as the device used to create it.

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Arguments and options

This operation takes no positional recipe arguments.

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = b"example"
args = []
result = bake(input_value, ['Extract EXIF'])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = []
transform = Pipeline().then('Extract EXIF')
result = transform(b"example")

Dedicated operation module

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.extract_exif. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.extract_exif import run

result = run(b"example", tuple([]))

pychef.operations.by_operation.extract_exif.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

value (str | bytes)
args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
