C# TIFF Image Library
Edit TIFF Metadata in C#.NET

C# Overview - View and Edit TIFF Metadata

RasterEdge .NET SDKs are built to enhance your productivity and streamline workflows. Our .NET SDKs own the most advanced & comprehensive documents and images reading and processing technologies. Among these SDKs, XDoc.Tiff for .NET has a mature imaging utility which allows Tiff image file metadata to be accessed and manipulated. In details, C# developers can integrate these Tiff file metadata manipulating features into a broad range of C#.NET projects, including reading, writing, deleting, and updating metadata. This Tiff metadata editing component supports the following metadata types.

• EXIF tags
• IIM (IPTC)
• XMP data
• Tiff tags

"Tiff Tag" refers to metadata information that is stored and saved with a Tiff document file. Tiff tag may contains information like color, size, count and value in captured Tiff image. In the following sections, you will get some C# sample codes for manipulating Tiff image metadata.

How to Get TIFF XMP Metadata in C#.NET

Use this C# sample code to get Tiff image Xmp metadata for string.

// Load your target Tiff docuemnt.
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(@"c:\demo1.tif");

// Get Xmp metadata for string. And later, you may remove, add or update metadata.
String xmpMetadata = doc.GetXMPMetadata(0);

How to Get TIFF EXIF Metadata in C#.NET

You can get Exif tag of Tiff image by using the following sample code.

// Load your target Tiff document.
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(@"C:\demo1.tif");

// Get the first page of Tiff document.
TIFFPage page = (TIFFPage)doc.GetPage(0);

// Get Tiff tag collection.
TagCollection collection = doc.GetTagCollection(0);

// Get Exif metadata. You can also update, remove, and add metadata.
List<EXIFField> exifMetadata = collection.ExifFields;

How to Get TIFF IPTC Metadata in C#.NET

This example is used for getting IPTC metadata in your C# program.

// Load your target Tiff document.
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(@"C:\demo1.tif");
if (null == doc)
        throw new Exception("Fail to construct TIFF Document");

// Get Tiff tag collection.
TagCollection collection = doc.GetTagCollection(0);

// Get IPTC metadata. You can also update, remove, and add metadata.
List<IPTCField> IPTCMetadata = collection.IptcFields;
