Image Preview with Metadata for Gradio Interface

Imagine loading a photo with embedded presets (e.g., camera settings or AI model parameters) and instantly populating your app’s UI with those values. With ImageMeta, you can extract and apply these presets effortlessly, streamlining workflows for photographers, data scientists, or creative professionals.

Features and Key Characteristics

ImageMeta is a custom Gradio component designed to enhance image handling with robust metadata support. Key features include:

• Interactive Image Upload: Upload PNG/JPEG images via drag-and-drop or file selection, with real-time metadata extraction using exifr on the client side.
• Metadata Extraction & Display: View EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata in a customizable popup, with options to filter custom metadata (e.g., Model, Schurn) or include technical details (e.g., ImageWidth).
• Preset Loading: Load metadata directly into UI components (Textbox, Slider, PropertySheet) to apply saved presets, streamlining workflows like camera settings or AI model parameters.
• Metadata Editing & Saving: Add or update metadata and save images with embedded metadata for downstream use, powered by PIL on the server side.
• Responsive Design: Supports fullscreen mode, adjustable popup sizes, and a polished Svelte-based UI for seamless user experiences.

ImageMeta

Initialization

name	type	default	description
value	str | Image.Image | np.ndarray | Callable | None	None	A PIL Image, numpy array, path or URL for the default value that Image component is going to take. If a function is provided, the function will be called each time the app loads to set the initial value of this component.
format	str	"webp"	File format (e.g. "png" or "gif"). Used to save image if it does not already have a valid format (e.g. if the image is being returned to the frontend as a numpy array or PIL Image). The format should be supported by the PIL library. Applies both when this component is used as an input or output. This parameter has no effect on SVG files.
height	int | str | None	None	The height of the component, specified in pixels if a number is passed, or in CSS units if a string is passed. This has no effect on the preprocessed image file or numpy array, but will affect the displayed image.
width	int | str | None	None	The width of the component, specified in pixels if a number is passed, or in CSS units if a string is passed. This has no effect on the preprocessed image file or numpy array, but will affect the displayed image.
image_mode	Literal[ "1", "L", "P", "RGB", "RGBA", "CMYK", "YCbCr", "LAB", "HSV", "I", "F", ] | None	"RGB"	The pixel format and color depth that the image should be loaded and preprocessed as. "RGB" will load the image as a color image, or "L" as black-and-white. See https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/handbook/concepts.html for other supported image modes and their meaning. This parameter has no effect on SVG or GIF files. If set to None, the image_mode will be inferred from the image file type (e.g. "RGBA" for a .png image, "RGB" in most other cases).
type	Literal["numpy", "pil", "filepath"]	"numpy"	The format the image is converted before being passed into the prediction function. "numpy" converts the image to a numpy array with shape (height, width, 3) and values from 0 to 255, "pil" converts the image to a PIL image object, "filepath" passes a str path to a temporary file containing the image. To support animated GIFs in input, the `type` should be set to "filepath" or "pil". To support SVGs, the `type` should be set to "filepath".
label	str | I18nData | None	None	The label for this component. Appears above the component and is also used as the header if there are a table of examples for this component. If None and used in a `gr.Interface`, the label will be the name of the parameter this component is assigned to.
every	Timer | float | None	None	Continously calls `value` to recalculate it if `value` is a function (has no effect otherwise). Can provide a Timer whose tick resets `value`, or a float that provides the regular interval for the reset Timer.
inputs	Component | Sequence[Component] | set[Component] | None	None	Components that are used as inputs to calculate `value` if `value` is a function (has no effect otherwise). `value` is recalculated any time the inputs change.
show_label	bool | None	None	If True, will display label.
show_download_button	bool	True	If True, will display button to download image. Only applies if interactive is False (e.g. if the component is used as an output).
container	bool	True	If True, will place the component in a container - providing some extra padding around the border.
scale	int | None	None	Relative size compared to adjacent Components. For example if Components A and B are in a Row, and A has scale=2, and B has scale=1, A will be twice as wide as B. Should be an integer. scale applies in Rows, and to top-level Components in Blocks where fill_height=True.
min_width	int	160	Minimum pixel width, will wrap if not sufficient screen space to satisfy this value. If a certain scale value results in this Component being narrower than min_width, the min_width parameter will be respected first.
interactive	bool | None	None	If True, will allow users to upload and edit an image; if False, can only be used to display images. If not provided, this is inferred based on whether the component is used as an input or output.
visible	bool	True	If False, component will be hidden.
elem_id	str | None	None	An optional string that is assigned as the id of this component in the HTML DOM. Can be used for targeting CSS styles.
elem_classes	list[str] | str | None	None	An optional list of strings that are assigned as the classes of this component in the HTML DOM. Can be used for targeting CSS styles.
render	bool	True	If False, component will not render be rendered in the Blocks context. Should be used if the intention is to assign event listeners now but render the component later.
key	int | str | tuple[int | str, ...] | None	None	In a gr.render, Components with the same key across re-renders are treated as the same component, not a new component. Properties set in 'preserved_by_key' are not reset across a re-render.
preserved_by_key	list[str] | str | None	"value"	A list of parameters from this component's constructor. Inside a gr.render() function, if a component is re-rendered with the same key, these (and only these) parameters will be preserved in the UI (if they have been changed by the user or an event listener) instead of re-rendered based on the values provided during constructor.
show_share_button	bool | None	None	If True, will show a share icon in the corner of the component that allows user to share outputs to Hugging Face Spaces Discussions. If False, icon does not appear. If set to None (default behavior), then the icon appears if this Gradio app is launched on Spaces, but not otherwise.
placeholder	str | None	None	Custom text for the upload area. Overrides default upload messages when provided. Accepts new lines and `#` to designate a heading.
show_fullscreen_button	bool	True	If True, will show a fullscreen icon in the corner of the component that allows user to view the image in fullscreen mode. If False, icon does not appear.
only_custom_metadata	bool	True	If True, extracts only custom metadata, excluding technical metadata like ImageWidth or ImageHeight. Defaults to True.
disable_preprocess	bool	True	If True, skips preprocessing and returns the raw ImageMetaData payload. Defaults to True.
popup_metadata_width	int | str	400	Metadata popup width in pixels or CSS units. Defaults to 400.
popup_metadata_height	int | str	300	Metadata popup height in pixels or CSS units. Defaults to 300.

Events

name	description
clear	This listener is triggered when the user clears the ImageMeta using the clear button for the component.
change	Triggered when the value of the ImageMeta changes either because of user input (e.g. a user types in a textbox) OR because of a function update (e.g. an image receives a value from the output of an event trigger). See .input() for a listener that is only triggered by user input.
select	Event listener for when the user selects or deselects the ImageMeta. Uses event data gradio.SelectData to carry value referring to the label of the ImageMeta, and selected to refer to state of the ImageMeta. See EventData documentation on how to use this event data
upload	This listener is triggered when the user uploads a file into the ImageMeta.
input	This listener is triggered when the user changes the value of the ImageMeta.
load_metadata	Triggered when the user clicks the 'Load Metadata' button, expecting ImageMetaData as input.

User function

The impact on the users predict function varies depending on whether the component is used as an input or output for an event (or both).

• When used as an Input, the component only impacts the input signature of the user function.
• When used as an output, the component only impacts the return signature of the user function.

The code snippet below is accurate in cases where the component is used as both an input and an output.

• As output: Is passed, preprocessed image as a NumPy array, PIL Image, filepath, ImageMetaData, or None.
• As input: Should return, input image as a NumPy array, PIL Image, string (file path or URL), Path object, or None.

def predict(
    value: numpy.ndarray | PIL.Image.Image | str | ImageMetaData | None
) -> numpy.ndarray | PIL.Image.Image | str | pathlib.Path | None:
