* exiftool: Add "-gps*=" removal example A common use of exiftool is removing location data from photos. One may wish to preserve most EXIF data (ex. rotation, date/time taken, etc.) but remove private location data. This example accomplishes this common task. The proposed example comes from exiftool's author, Phil Harvey: https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=6037.msg29731#msg29731 This example works to not only remove GPS data from EXIF but also from Adobe's XMP tags. Tested with JPEG and HEIC photos using exiftool 12.50.

|
|
- Print the EXIF metadata for a given file:
|
|
|
|
`exiftool {{file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove all EXIF metadata from the given files:
|
|
|
|
`exiftool -All= {{file1 file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove GPS EXIF metadata from given image files:
|
|
|
|
`exiftool "-gps*=" {{path/to/image1 path/to/image2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove all EXIF metadata from the given image files, then re-add metadata for color and orientation:
|
|
|
|
`exiftool -All= -tagsfromfile @ -colorspacetags -orientation {{image1 image2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Move the date at which all photos in a directory were taken 1 hour forward:
|
|
|
|
`exiftool "-AllDates+=0:0:0 1:0:0" {{path/to/directory}}`
|
|
|
|
- Move the date at which all JPEG photos in the current directory were taken 1 day and 2 hours backward:
|
|
|
|
`exiftool "-AllDates-=0:0:1 2:0:0" -ext jpg`
|
|
|
|
- Only change the `DateTimeOriginal` field subtracting 1.5 hours, without keeping backups:
|
|
|
|
`exiftool -DateTimeOriginal-=1.5 -overwrite_original`
|
|
|
|
- Recursively rename all JPEG photos in a directory based on the `DateTimeOriginal` field:
|
|
|
|
`exiftool '-filename<DateTimeOriginal' -d %Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S%%lc.%%e {{path/to/directory}} -r -ext jpg`
