Exiftags is a software package that provides tools for parsing JPEG files. It includes various utilities for extracting information from a specified JPEG file.
Exiftags is a package of utilities that allows you to parse a specified JPEG file or, by default, its standard input, in search of a JPEG APP1 section containing Exif (Exchangeable Image File) image metadata. Once discovered, the properties contained in these data are printed to the standard output.
This program provides support for the Exif data added to image files by digital cameras, which contains information about the camera and the digitized image. It also supports a variety of cameras, including additional support for a portion of the maker notes for Asahi (Pentax), Canon, Casio, Fuji, Leica, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, and Sanyo cameras.
This software can be used on both Windows and Unix-like operating systems. Two companion utilities are included in the package: exifcom and exiftime. The first one displays and writes the UserComment Exif tag that some cameras include in the image metadata they create, which is useful for recording caption or location information in the image file itself. The second one displays and adjusts the image's Exif date and time tags. Additionally, this utility can list each file in ascending order by date and time, suitable for use in further image processing (e.g., production of a Web catalog) when filename ordering is not useful.
