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 FileType property to obtain file format information

AdvancedUsage.ManagingMetadataForSpecificFormats.Image.Gif.GifReadFileFormatProperties

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

	Console.WriteLine(root.FileType.FileFormat);
	Console.WriteLine(root.FileType.Version);
	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);
}

GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET also allows managing XMP metadata in GIF files. For more details please refer to the following guide: Working with XMP metadata.

You may easily run the code above and see the feature in action in our GitHub examples:

• GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET examples
• GroupDocs.Metadata for Java examples

The GIF Metadata Editing app is available to view and edit metadata of GIF images, including XMP properties and image details.
