Working with metadata in GIF images Leave feedback

The following sample of code will help you to detect the version of a loaded GIF image and extract some additional file format information.

1. Load a GIF image
2. Extract the root metadata package
3. Use the getGifImageType method to obtain file format information

advanced_usage.managing_metadata_for_specific_formats.image.gif.GifReadFileFormatProperties

try (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(Constants.InputGif)) {
	GifRootPackage root = metadata.getRootPackageGeneric();

	System.out.println(root.getGifImageType().getFileFormat());
	System.out.println(root.getGifImageType().getVersion());
	System.out.println(root.getGifImageType().getByteOrder());
	System.out.println(root.getGifImageType().getMimeType());
	System.out.println(root.getGifImageType().getExtension());
	System.out.println(root.getGifImageType().getWidth());
	System.out.println(root.getGifImageType().getHeight());
}
