Does PNG contain EXIF data like JPG?

Question

I was wondering if PNG contains data like the following?

What I did was to convert the jpg file to png format, and I was expecting to retrieve the same info I had on

Answer 1

Yes and no.

As other answers have already stated, PNG didn't have a formal EXIF chunk until eXIf was added in v1.5.0 (2017), and to my knowledge this chunk still does not enjoy wide support.

But that's because it doesn't need it. Many pieces of software encode EXIF in a PNG by convention in an iTXt (or compressed zTXt) chunk notated "Raw profile type APP1". The newer eXIf chunk was intended to provide a standardised location for this, though in my opinion that ship has sailed now.

In addition, much of the EXIF standard's metadata can be represented by XMP, an alternative and newer metadata transport mechanism that has an EXIF namespace for precisely this purpose. PNG files have included XMP documents (including translated EXIF metadata) in iTXt chunks for years. You will find that many processors convert between the two on the fly.
