Media Exiftool

Context: $ARGUMENTS

ExifTool (by Phil Harvey) is the de facto standard for reading and writing metadata in images, RAW files, video, PDFs, and audio. It handles EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, MakerNotes, QuickTime atoms, ID3, and hundreds of vendor-specific tags.

Quick start

  • Dump everything grouped: exiftool -g1 in.jpg → Step 2, read
  • Machine-readable JSON: exiftool -j in.jpg → Step 2, read
  • Write a tag safely: exiftool -P -overwrite_original -Artist="Alice" in.jpg → Step 2, write
  • Nuke all metadata: exiftool -all= -overwrite_original in.jpg → Step 2, strip
  • Copy metadata src → dst: exiftool -TagsFromFile src.jpg dst.jpg → Step 2, copy
  • Shift dates +1h: exiftool "-AllDates+=0:0:0 1:0:0" *.jpg → Step 2, shift
