exif 0.1.0

Read and modify image EXIF metadata using Python.

Read and modify image EXIF metadata using Python without any third-party software dependencies. For example, batch process image metadata using a Python script.

Quick Start

Open an image with EXIF metadata using the Python open built-in function. Ensure the binary mode flag is set. Pass this image file object into the exif.Image class:

>>> from exif import Image
>>> with open('grand_canyon.jpg', 'rb') as image_file:
...     my_image = Image(image_file)
...

Access EXIF metadata using Python attribute notation:

>>> my_image.gps_latitude
(36.0, 3.0, 11.08)
>>> my_image.model
'iPhone 7'
>>> my_image.model = "Python"

Write the image with modified EXIF metadata to an image file using open in binary write mode:

>>> with open('modified_image.jpg', 'wb') as new_image_file:
...     new_image_file.write(my_image.get_file())
...
