Can someone recommend an Exif editor?

  • 772

Anyone knows a good exif editor for ubuntu? I need some simple functions like importing and exporting exif infos from a picture, copying exif info from one picture to another.

I'd prefer a gtk+ application, better if stand alone and not a function integrated in photo manager.

  1. exiftool is also very powerful.

  2. Phatch

    I mostly use Phatch. It does handle metadata but it's aimed at batch processing so it's particularly good for workflow.

    sudo apt install phatch

  3. I use jhead for simple EXIF extractions but I believe it is capable of transferring EXIF information from one image file to another. I am not aware of an appropriate GUI.

    Some people prefer ExifTool.

  4. I use exiv2 to extract and fix EXIF data via the CLI, and Digikam to edit exif data in single images visually.

  5. Being ExifTool the most powerful tool around (unfortunately no-gui), this could be a solution: pyExifToolGUI: https://hvdwolf.github.io/pyExifToolGUI/

    You could find a convenient package for Ubuntu in this PPA:

    Hope this helps,

  6. Perhaps you could use jBrout for some aspects of Exif manipulation. I've written about this here : http://www.scaine.net/site/2010/01/jbrout/

    I'm not convinced that it can copy Exif from one photo to another - you're better off with Phatch for that, as mentioend by outofstep. Can you clarify why Phatch "isn't what you're looking for"?
