I am making this post to capture all meta data from file using exiftools in nodejs.
what is exif data
Exchangeable image file data format is a standard that specifies formats for images file, sound, and ancillary tags used by digital cameras, scanners and other systems handling image and sound files recorded by digital cameras.
backend
these library use and install
- express
- mongoose
- cors
- node-exiftool
- dist-exiftool
- multer
