ExifTool by Phil Harvey (phil at owl.phy.queensu.ca) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ExifTool is a customizable set of Perl modules plus a full-featured command-line application for reading and writing meta information in a wide variety of files, including the maker note information of many digital cameras by various manufacturers such as Canon, Casio, DJI, FLIR, FujiFilm, GE, HP, JVC/Victor, Kodak, Leaf, Minolta/Konica-Minolta, Nikon, Nintendo, Olympus/Epson, Panasonic/Leica, Pentax/Asahi, Phase One, Reconyx, Ricoh, Samsung, Sanyo, Sigma/Foveon and Sony. Below is a list of file types and meta information formats currently supported by ExifTool (r = read, w = write, c = create): File Types ------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+------------ 3FR r | DSS r | JP2 r/w | OFR r | RTF r 3G2 r/w | DV r | JPEG r/w | OGG r | RW2 r/w 3GP r/w | DVB r/w | JSON r | OGV r | RWL r/w A r | DVR-MS r | K25 r | OPUS r | RWZ r AA r | DYLIB r | KDC r | ORF r/w | RM r AAE r | EIP r | KEY r | OTF r | SEQ r AAX r/w | EPS r/w | LA r | PAC r | SKETCH r ACR r | EPUB r | LFP r | PAGES r | SO r AFM r | ERF r/w | LNK r | PBM r/w | SR2 r/w AI r/w | EXE r | M2TS r | PCD r | SRF r AIFF r | EXIF r/w/c | M4A/V r/w | PCX r | SRW r/w APE r | EXR r | MAX r | PDB r | SVG r ARQ r/w | EXV r/w/c | MEF r/w | PDF r/w | SWF r ARW r/w | F4A/V r/w | MIE r/w/c | PEF r/w | THM r/w ASF r | FFF r/w | MIFF r | PFA r | TIFF r/w AVI r | FLA r | MKA r | PFB r | TORRENT r AZW r | FLAC r | MKS r | PFM r | TTC r BMP r | FLIF r/w | MKV r | PGF r | TTF r BPG r | FLV r | MNG r/w | PGM r/w | VCF r BTF r | FPF r | MOBI r | PLIST r | VRD r/w/c CHM r | FPX r | MODD r | PICT r | VSD r COS r | GIF r/w | MOI r | PMP r | WAV r CR2 r/w | GPR r/w | MOS r/w | PNG r/w | WDP r/w CR3 r/w | GZ r | MOV r/w | PPM r/w | WEBP r CRM r/w | HDP r/w | MP3 r | PPT r | WEBM r CRW r/w | HDR r | MP4 r/w | PPTX r | WMA r CS1 r/w | HEIC r | MPC r | PS r/w | WMV r DCM r | HEIF r | MPG r | PSB r/w | WTV r DCP r/w | HTML r | MPO r/w | PSD r/w | WV r DCR r | ICC r/w/c | MQV r/w | PSP r | X3F r/w DFONT r | ICS r | MRW r/w | QTIF r/w | XCF r DIVX r | IDML r | MXF r | R3D r | XLS r DJVU r | IIQ r/w | NEF r/w | RA r | XLSX r DLL r | IND r/w | NRW r/w | RAF r/w | XMP r/w/c DNG r/w | INX r | NUMBERS r | RAM r | ZIP r DOC r | ISO r | O r | RAR r | DOCX r | ITC r | ODP r | RAW r/w | DPX r | J2C r | ODS r | RIFF r | DR4 r/w/c | JNG r/w | ODT r | RSRC r | Meta Information ----------------------+----------------------+--------------------- EXIF r/w/c | CIFF r/w | Ricoh RMETA r GPS r/w/c | AFCP r/w | Picture Info r IPTC r/w/c | Kodak Meta r/w | Adobe APP14 r XMP r/w/c | FotoStation r/w | MPF r MakerNotes r/w/c | PhotoMechanic r/w | Stim r Photoshop IRB r/w/c | JPEG 2000 r | DPX r ICC Profile r/w/c | DICOM r | APE r MIE r/w/c | Flash r | Vorbis r JFIF r/w/c | FlashPix r | SPIFF r Ducky APP12 r/w/c | QuickTime r | DjVu r PDF r/w/c | Matroska r | M2TS r PNG r/w/c | MXF r | PE/COFF r Canon VRD r/w/c | PrintIM r | AVCHD r Nikon Capture r/w/c | FLAC r | ZIP r GeoTIFF r/w/c | ID3 r | (and more) See html/index.html for more details about ExifTool features. ExifTool can be downloaded from http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ RUNNING The exiftool script can be run right away without the need to install Image::ExifTool. For example, from within the exiftool directory you can extract the information from one of the included test files by typing: ./exiftool t/images/ExifTool.jpg If you move the exiftool script to a different directory, you must also either move the contents of the lib directory or install the Image::ExifTool package so the script can find the necessary libraries. Note: If you are using the Windows cmd shell, you may need to rename 'exiftool' to 'exiftool.pl' to run it directly from the command line. Alternatively, you can run exiftool with the command 'perl exiftool'. IF YOU ARE STILL CONFUSED The exiftool script is a command line application. You run it by typing commands in a terminal window. The first step is to determine the name of the directory where you downloaded the ExifTool distribution package. Assuming, for example, you downloaded it to a folder called "Desktop" in your home directory, then you would type the following commands in a terminal window to extract and run ExifTool: cd ~/Desktop gzip -dc Image-ExifTool-11.26.tar.gz | tar -xf - cd Image-ExifTool-11.26 ./exiftool t/images/ExifTool.jpg Note: These commands extract meta information from one of the test images. To use one of your images instead, enter the full path name of your file in place of "t/images/ExifTool.jpg". INSTALLATION You can install the Image::ExifTool package to make it available for use by other Perl scripts by typing the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Notes: i) You need root access for the last step above. ii) Some Perl installations (like the standard OSX installation) may not contain the necessary files to complete the first step above. But no worries: You can install ExifTool manually by moving 'exiftool' and the 'lib' directory to any directory in your current PATH (ie. /usr/bin). iii) In Windows, "dmake" or "nmake" may be used if "make" is not available. (Also see html/install.html for more help with installation.) DEPENDENCIES Requires Perl version 5.004 or later. No other special libraries are required, however the following modules are recommended for decoding compressed and/or encrypted information from the indicated file types, and for calculating digest values and providing other features listed below: Archive::Zip (ZIP, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODP, ODS, ODT, EIP, iWork) Compress::Zlib (DNG, PNG, PDF, DCM, MIE and SWF files) Digest::MD5 (PDF files, IPTC information, and JPG Extended XMP) Digest::SHA (PDF with AES-256 encryption) IO::Compress::Bzip2 (RWZ files) Time::HiRes (for generating ProcessingTime tag) POSIX::strptime (for inverse date/time conversion) Time::Piece (alternative to POSIX::strptime) Unicode::LineBreak (for column alignment of alternate-language output) Win32::API (for proper handling of Windows file times) Win32::FindFile (for Windows Unicode directory support, app only) Win32API::File (for Windows Unicode file names and file times) IO::Compress::RawDeflate (for writing FLIF images) IO::Uncompress::RawInflate (for reading FLIF images) COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2003-2018, Phil Harvey This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
