EXIFTOOL UBUNTU HOW TO

This is a really time consuming process but not a difficult one. In this small guide, i’ll show how to read and then remove all EXIF metadata, using Linux command line utility, named ExifTool. It supports a large number of formats and different types of metadata: EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP, ID3. 'By accident' it contains more functions as ExifTool is a powerful tool and once you have written the basic program Gui skeleton it is relatively easy to add extra functionality, which is basically to add more exif/xmp/iptc tags and add them to the 'write to image' functions. (Emphasizes in bold from me.) In some cases it can also add/modify metadata. On Linux, the installation process is really easy, as this application is available in the official repositories of all the Linux distributions. ExifTool is an excellent library and command line application, developed in Perl by Phil Harvey, that allows you to read and edit image, audio and video metadata. You can extract metadata from files with the exiftool command (part of the libimage-exiftool-perl package).ģFR, 3G2, 3GP, ACR, AFM, AI, AIFF, APE, ARW, ASF, AVI, BMP, BTF, CHM, COS, CR2, CRW, CS1, DCM, DCP, DCR, DFONT, DIVX, DJVU, DLL, DNG, DOC, DOCX, DPX, DV, DVB, DYLIB, EIP, EPS, ERF, EXE, EXIF, EXR, F4A/V, FFF, FLA, FLAC, FLV, FPF, FPX, GIF, GZ, HDP, HDR, HTML, ICC, IDML, IIQ, IND, INX, ITC, J2C, JNG, JP2, JPEG, K25, KDC, KEY, LA, LNK, M2TS, M4A/V, MEF, MIE, MIFF, MKA, MKS, MKV, MNG, MODD, MOS, MOV, MP3, MP4, MPC, MPG, MPO, MQV, MRW, MXF, NEF, NRW, NUMBERS, ODP, ODS, ODT, OFR, OGG, OGV, ORF, OTF, PAC, PAGES, PBM, PCD, PDF, PEF, PFA, PFB, PFM, PGF, PGM, PICT, PLIST, PMP, PNG, PPM, PPT, PPTX, PS, PSB, PSD, PSP, QTIF, RA, RAF, RAM, RAR, RAW, RIFF, RM, RSRC, RTF, RW2, RWL, RWZ, SO, SR2, SRF, SRW, SVG, SWF, THM, TIFF, TORRENT, TTC, TTF, VRD, VSD, WAV, WDP, WEBM, WEBP, WMA, WMV, WV, X3F, XCF, XLS, XLSX, XMP, ZIP.
