Add Custom Metadata to a TIFF File

This code sample shows how to insert a custom metadata tag into a TIFF image.

Python

from groupdocs.metadata import Metadata
from groupdocs.metadata.formats.image import TiffAsciiTag, TiffTagID
from groupdocs.metadata.standards.exif import ExifPackage

def add_exif_artist_tag():
    # Open the TIFF image
    with Metadata("./input.tiff") as metadata:
        root = metadata.get_root_package()
        if root is not None:
            if root.exif_package is None:
                root.exif_package = ExifPackage()
            # Define the metadata key and value
            data = TiffAsciiTag(TiffTagID.ARTIST, "Awesome artist")
            # Add the metadata
            root.exif_package.set(data)
            # Save the updated image
            metadata.save("./output.tiff")
