Otherwise there are two possible ways:

1. Use third-party utility or library, for example ExifTool by Phil Harvey. Call it with your image, parse the output, and you will get info.
2. Read Exif specification, and parse your jpeg file yourself. More work, but you will stay independend from third-party code.

Hi Raymond Date and time in modern digital photos is stored in metadata in a part of the image called the EXIF. You can follow the following steps to add a time stamp to a jpeg image from the EXIF 1) Download image formatting software Imagemagick from this link 2) Once it is installed, open a command shell from Start the run and then type “cmd” then press enter 3) In the command window switch to the directory where your photo is stored 4) In the command window replace “Youre_test_photo.jpg” with the actual photo you want to test and “output.jpg” with your preferred output name 5) Then type in the following command convert “your_test_photo.jpg”-font “Arial”-point size 72-fill white-annotate+”100”+”100”” %[exif:DateTimeOriginal] output.jpg”
