Jhead is an exif Jpeg header manipulation tool.
Things jhead can extract from an Exif jpeg file:
- Time and date picture was taken
- Camera make and model
- Integral low-res Exif thumbnail
- Shutter speed
- Camera F-stop number
- Flash used (yes/no)
- Distance camera was focused at
- Focal length and calculate 35 mm equivalent focal length
- Image resolution
- GPS info, if stored in image
- IPTC header
- XMP data
Things jhead can modify in an exif jpeg file:
- Up-right images according to rotation tag using jpegtran
- Set or relative adjust internal exif timestamps
- Fix date / time offsets in large batches of images
- Re-name or date stamp files according to exif timestamp
- Transfer exif headers between images
- Replace thumbnails inside Exif headers
- Edit jpeg comments (but not the Exif comments)
- Delete exif or comment sections from jpeg images
- Create new minimal exif header containing date and thumbnail
The program also has a lot of other command line options for manipulating Exif files, such as options to manipulate the date in the header, renaming image files, or coordinating running Jpegtran and Mogrify to manipulate whole directory trees of images.
