I want to read only metadata of an image, without reading the data. This should be much faster.

I found this question, with this answer, but not sure how to use it.

Also, I prefer a cv2 solution if one exists.

Not looking for:

import cv2

im = cv2.imread(mypath)
height, width, channels = im.shape

@ChristophRackwitz thanks. The correct answer is actually the 3d one, that was a hard find. – Gulzar Apr 06 '22 at 09:35
