About ExifTool

Who we are

ExifTool is an website dedicated to ExifTool, the free and open-source application for reading, writing and editing metadata. Our goal is to make ExifTool approachable for everyone, from photographers and content creators to students, developers and everyday computer users.

What we do

We publish clear explanations, installation guides and practical command examples so visitors can start working with metadata confidently. Our guides cover topics such as basic commands, GPS privacy, video metadata, Linux installation and graphical front ends.

Our relationship with ExifTool

Choose the package for your operating system. Keep a backup of your files before changing metadata.

Our editorial approach

• We describe features and commands accurately and avoid unsupported claims.
• We do not invent version numbers, release dates or statistics.
• We recommend safe practices, such as keeping backups when editing metadata.
• We update content when we find errors or when ExifTool's behaviour changes.
