Extract EXIF information with JavaScript

Tuesday May 27th, 2008

Just stumbled (via) over an interesting blog entry by fellow Dane Jacob Seidelin describing how you can extract EXIF information with JavaScript.

Back in 2004 when I wrote my Auto Captions in Photos article this was something that I dreamt about. And now it seems to be possible. Hmm, I better take a look into those script files for a more detailed examination. Do I dare hope for cross-browser support?

You'll find the blog entries at:

• JavaScript EXIF Reader - lab page with examples
• Reading EXIF data with Javascript
• jQuery EXIF data plugin.

Nice job Jacob. Thanks for sharing.
