AutoExif is a user-friendly tool that provides an intuitive graphical interface for the powerful exiftool utility. It enables users to view, edit, and remove metadata from images and videos effortlessly. Whether you're a photographer cataloging your work, a developer analyzing media files, or someone prioritizing privacy, AutoExif simplifies metadata management across multiple platforms.
- Read Metadata: Display basic or detailed EXIF data (e.g., camera settings, timestamps) from local image and video files.
- Web Metadata: Extract metadata from online images by providing a URL.
- Wipe Metadata: Remove all metadata or specific types (e.g., GPS, Photoshop edits) from local files, with an option to add a custom comment.
- Extract Video GPS: Retrieve embedded GPS coordinates from video files for location-based insights.
- Thumbnail Info: Access metadata embedded in image thumbnails, often overlooked but rich with details.
- Operation Log: Maintain a record of all actions performed for transparency and troubleshooting.
- Cross-Platform: Available as a standalone executable for Windows and a Python script for macOS and Linux.
Note for Linux Users
Currently, AutoExif offers full graphical interface (GUI) support only on Windows. For Linux, the tool is functional via the Python script, but lacks a polished GUI experience. A comprehensive GUI, matching the Windows version, is in active development and will be released soon (exlcuding darwinsism), ensuring a consistent experience across all supported platforms. In the meantime, Linux users can utilize the script-based version / explore the CLI alternative here. Stay tuned for updates!
