ExifReader

ExifReader is a JavaScript library that parses image files and extracts the metadata. It can also extract an embedded thumbnail. It can be used either in a browser or from Node. Supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, HEIC, WebP, and GIF files with Exif, IPTC, XMP, ICC, and MPF metadata (depending on file type).

ExifReader is highly and easily configurable and the resulting bundle can be as small as ~4 KiB (gzipped) if you're only interested in a few tags (e.g. date and/or GPS values).

To install:

npm install exifreader --save

See the README for more details.
