Hey there! Are you someone who loves taking digital photographs and wants to know more about the metadata stored in them? Do you want to get a glimpse of the various camera settings used to capture an image, such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focal length? Look no further because EXIF Reader is here to help! In this blog post, I’ll guide you through this Python script that provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface to view the EXIF data of your digital photographs.
If you have been following my work, you might know that I already have an Android app named “EXIF Viewer – Easy Copy” in the Google Play Store. However, with this Python script, I have added some more features to the EXIF Reader tool. Now you can extract and view the EXIF data of various file types, preview the selected images, locate GPS coordinates on Google Maps, and remove all the EXIF data from your photos with just one click. These new features make the tool more versatile and user-friendly, and they are sure to come in handy when working with digital photographs.
EXIF Reader is a tool that allows you to extract and display EXIF data from various file types such as JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, GIF, BMP, WEBP, CR2, NEF, ORF, SR2, SRW, DNG, RW2, RAF, PEF, and ARW. It also enables you to preview the selected image(s) and view their metadata tags. With the help of geopy, you can even search and locate GPS coordinates on Google Maps. Plus, the best part is that EXIF Reader now comes with a new feature that lets you remove all the EXIF data from your photos with just one click!
To get started with EXIF Reader, you need to install the following packages: tkinter, PIL, exifread, geopy, and GPSPhoto. Don’t worry; it’s a simple process. Just open your command prompt or terminal and type in the following command:
pip install tkinter Pillow exifread geopy GPSPhoto
Once you’ve installed the necessary packages, you can run the EXIF_Reader.py
file using Python. You can add files individually or add a whole folder by clicking on the respective buttons. Once you’ve added the files, you can select any of them to preview the image and display its metadata. You can also search for GPS coordinates in the metadata and click the button to locate them on Google Maps. And if you want to remove all the EXIF data from your photos, click on the “Remove EXIF” button, and voila! You’re done.
EXIF Reader is a handy tool that comes in handy when you’re working with digital photographs. Whether you’re a professional photographer or just someone who loves taking photos as a hobby, EXIF Reader is a must-have tool that can help you understand the camera settings and metadata stored in your photos. So what are you waiting for?
