exiv2

Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command line utility to manage image metadata. It provides fast and easy read and write access to the Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata of images in various formats

Exiv2 command line utility to:

• print Exif, IPTC and XMP image metadata in different formats:
  • Exif summary info, interpreted values, or the plain data for each tag
• set, add and delete Exif, IPTC and XMP image metadata from command line modify commands or command scripts
• adjust the Exif timestamp (that’s how it all started…)
• rename Exif image files according to the Exif timestamp
• extract, insert and delete Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata and JPEG comments
• extract previews from RAW images and thumbnails from the Exif metadata
• insert and delete the thumbnail image embedded in the Exif metadata
• print, set and delete the JPEG comment of JPEG images
• fix the Exif ISO setting of picture taken with Canon and Nikon cameras

Usage: exiv2 [ option [ arg ] ]+ [ action ] file ...

Image metadata manipulation tool.

Where file is one or more files, optionally containing a URL
(http, https, ftp, sftp, data or file) or wildcard

Actions:
  pr | print    Print image metadata (default is a summary). This is the default
                action
  ad | adjust   Adjust Exif timestamps by the given time. Requires
                at least one of -a, -Y, -O or -D
  rm | delete   Deletes image metadata, use -d to choose type to delete
                (default is all)
  in | insert   Insert metadata from .exv, .xmp, thumbnail or .icc file.
                Use option -S to change the suffix of the input files and
                -l to change the location
  ex | extract  Extract metadata to .exv, .xmp, preview image, thumbnail,
                or ICC profile. Use option -S to change the suffix of the input
                files and -l to change the location
  mv | rename   Rename files and/or set file timestamps according to the
                Exif timestamps. The filename format can be set with
                -r format, timestamp options are controlled with -t and -T

libexiv2-28

Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command line utility to manage image metadata. It provides fast and easy read and write access to the Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata of images in various formats

Exiv2 library provides:

• fast read and write access to the Exif, IPTC, and XMP metadata of an image
• an easy to use and extensively documented API
• conversions of Exif and IPTC metadata to XMP and vice versa
• a smart IPTC implementation that does not affect data that programs like Photoshop store in the same image segment
• Exif Makernote support:
  • Makernote tags can be read and written just like any other metadata
  • a sophisticated write algorithm avoids corrupting the Makernote
• a simple interface to extract previews embedded in RAW images and Exif thumbnails
• set and delete methods for Exif thumbnails
