It's default behavior when ran with an image as an argument, exiftool imagefile.jpg, is to print out all the exif metadata in that image.

exiftool Įxiftool is a handy program for viewing, editing or manipulating exif data embedded into images and a whole range of other file types and formats like PDF files. See exiv2 for additional information about exiv2. It can be used to remove Exif metadata from images by invoking it with delete and a -d something option where "something" you would like to remove would beĮxiv2 -delete a MSI_RX_470_GPU.jpg would remove all the metadata from a picture named MSI_RX_470_GPU.jpg.Įxiv2 can also be used to add or change all kinds of image metadata. Adding -pv as in exiv2 -pv image.jpg will show a detailed list of all the metadata. Most distributions have it available as a package with that name.Įxiv2 will, with no arguments and a image file as a parameter, display a brief summary of a files metadata. The best option as of late 2020 is, sadly, to use a command-line program.Įxiv2 is a very complete and mature tool for viewing and manipulating Exif metadata. Editors like the GNU Image Manipulation Program let you keep and re-save existing metadata embedded into pictures and other image files but it will not let you change the tags.

Several free software image viewers like geeqie and gwenview let you view an images metadata.

See : Image License in Google Images for additional details. The metadata fields Google Images cares about are: The significantly better Yandex and Bing image search engines do not display any image metadata. Images without Copyright-related metadata get the text "Images may be subject to copyright. They changed that link to a text field showing the actual data below images in May 2020. Google begun making metadata information about an images creator and copyright, if present, available behind a link called "Image Credits" when an image is shown in their mostly useless image search engine. The XMP Dublin Core schema (dc) and the XMP Rights Management schema (xmpRights) cover everything the IPTC datasets define. The IPTC standards offers nothing unqie, it can be written off as irrelevant and ignored. That is likely why the 2017.1 version of their standard opted to simply absorb some of the much more widely used XMP properties into their "standard". That is simply not the case, the reality is that nobody outside a few large news organizations care about the IPTC and their "standards". The International Press Telecommunications Council would have you believe that IPTC does not define a method of storing metadata in images or other files, their standards are only vocabularies for metadata meant to be stored as XMP structures. They provides a series of metadata attributes that are mostly focused on Copyright and licensing. The IPTC Photo Metadata Standard is a series of photo metadata standards developed by the International Press Telecommunications Council. Many of them are application-specific, programs like the KDE digiKam photo manager, Adobe Lightroom and Microsoft Photo will embed their own custom schema XMP tags into the images they touch. There are XMP a lot of schemas available. There is a list of namespaces and pages listing their possible values at /metadata.html. Metadata tools recognize values like as being a XMP value in the xmpRights namespace called Owner. XMP metadata is typically stored using a namespace (with a defined set of properties) followed by a value. XMP can be used to store name/value pairs, structured values and lists of values.


The data is embedded in a way that makes programs lacking support for XMP data ignore it. XMP defines a standard for embedding metadata into images and other file formats like PDF. The Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP), created by Adobe Systems Inc, came along in December 2014. There are a lot of other information which can be embedded into a digital photograph.Įxif is the most common standard for metadata in digital photographs but it is only one of three.Įxtensible Metadata Platform (XMP) Image files can contain a lot more than that in the metadata fields.

An embedded thumbnail of the full image.Most digital photographs have exif metadata a minimum of: The exif specification covers metadata tags in compressed JPEG images files, uncompressed TIFF images, RIFF WAV audio and IMA-ADPCM compressed audio.Īlmost all cameras and mobile phone photo applications support and use the Exif metadata standard to save information about digital pictures taken with the device. The latest version 2.3.2 was defined on May 17th, 2019.
#EXIFTOOL STRIP ALL METADATA UPDATE#
Version 2.1 was defined in June 1998 and an update to 2.2 was written in April 2002. The first version of the standard was written by the Japanese in the early 1990s. The Exchangeable image file format is the oldest and most widely used photo metadata standard.
