Extracting Common Image Information

For all supported image formats the GroupDocs.Metadata API allows extracting common image properties such as width and height, MIME type, byte order, etc. Please see the code snippet below for more information on the feature.

1. Load an image
2. Extract the root metadata package
3. Use the FileType property to obtain file format information

AdvancedUsage.ManagingMetadataForSpecificFormats.Image.ImageReadFileFormatProperties

using (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(Constants.InputPng))
{
	var root = metadata.GetRootPackage<ImageRootPackage>();

	Console.WriteLine(root.FileType.FileFormat);
	Console.WriteLine(root.FileType.ByteOrder);
	Console.WriteLine(root.FileType.MimeType);
	Console.WriteLine(root.FileType.Extension);
	Console.WriteLine(root.FileType.Width);
	Console.WriteLine(root.FileType.Height);
}
