NAME

exiftool - Read and write meta information in files

SYNOPSIS

exiftool [OPTIONS] [-TAG...] [--TAG...] FILE...

exiftool [OPTIONS] -TAG[+-DSTTAG]...] FILE...

exiftool [ -ver | -list[w|f|wf|g[NUM]|d|x] ]

For specific examples, see the EXAMPLES sections below.

DESCRIPTION

A command-line interface to Image::ExifTool, used for reading and

writing meta information in image, audio and video files. FILE is one

or more source file names, directory names, or "-" for the standard

input. When reading, information from source files is output in

readable form to the console (or written to output text files with -w).

To write, copy or delete information, tag values are assigned using the

-TAG=[VALUE] syntax, or with the -tagsFromFile or -geotag options. By

default the original files are preserved with "_original" appended to

their names -- be sure to verify that the new files are OK before

erasing the originals. Once in write mode, exiftool will ignore any

read-specific options.

Note: If FILE is a directory name then only supported file types in

the directory are processed (in write mode only writable types are

processed). However, files may be specified by name, or the -ext

option may be used to force processing of files with any extension.

Below is a list of file types and meta information formats currently

supported by ExifTool (r = read, w = write, c = create):

OPTIONS

Case is not significant for any command-line option (including tag and

group names), except for single-character options when the

corresponding upper-case option exists. Many single-character options

have equivalent long-name versions (shown in brackets), and some

options have inverses which are invoked with a leading double-dash.

Note that multiple single-character options may NOT be combined into

one argument because this would be interpreted as a tag name. Contrary

to standard practice, options may appear after source file names on the

command line.
