Image Metadata Importer

Read EXIF and IPTC metadata when uploading an image to Statamic.

Installation

Require the addon as a Composer dependency.

composer require heidkaemper/statamic-import-image-metadata

Add a new field to your Asset Container Blueprint. A text field with the handle copyright would be a good start.

Import a JPG or TIFF image that contains metadata. 🎉

Configuration

The default configuration imports metadata for title, copyright and source if the corresponding fields exist in the blueprint.

To change this, you can publish the configuration.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="import-image-metadata-config"

Have a look at the configuration file for details.

Metadata tags

Most common EXIF and IPTC tags should be available. Check these resources:

• Most common EXIF tags
• Most common IPTC tags

A specialty of iptcparse in PHP is that the IPTC tags are addressed via the code and are therefore not very human readable. For example, 2#116 would be the copyright field.

To make the configuration a little easier, this plugin maps the most important IPTC tags to more readable titles. However, the IPTC codes work too.
