Type exiftool followed by the attribute that you wish to change using the following syntax. Editing tagsĮditing exif data is pretty easy. The resulting file will still have the regular properties of a file (size, name, date created, etc).

The original file is renamed as image.jpg_original.Īlternatively, use the following command. Instead, it creates a copy of it with the modified metadata, which can be useful for sharing online. The program does not modify the original file. This tells ExifTool to delete all exif (personally identifiable) tags from the image's metadata. They contain a ton of metadata from just one photo I took on vacation last year. Repeat the steps, add a space after 'exiftool', and then drop the image onto the window before hitting Enter. This method can also be used for adding an image's path quickly. When you want to use it, open a command window, drag and drop the exiftool.exe to the window to run it from its location. Place it inside a folder that is a system path so that you may run it easier from the command prompt this mode allows you to use all features in the application, so this is what we will be using here. This will open a command window that displays the metadata of the file.Īn alternative way to use it is to rename it from exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe. Instead, drag and drop files or folders on it using Explorer. Download the archive it contains an executable. It is a command-line application (technically a script). You can edit or delete metadata with the help of programs like ExifTool by Phil Harvey.
