About jExifToolGUI

jExifToolGUI is a java/Swing Windows/Linux/MacOS graphical frontend for the excellent command-line application called ExifTool by Phil Harvey.

ExifTool is a platform-independent Perl command-line application and library for reading, writing and editing meta information in a wide variety of files. Exiftool is by far the best and most extensive metadata tool available! It reads and writes metadata information from/to many files, but primarily focuses on photos/images. It reads/writes exif, gps, xmp, maker notes for many cameras, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix and many, many more tags. It can use a "reference" image to write the tags to a multiple set of photos or a complete directory containing photos. Author/creator/maintainer of ExifTool: Phil Harvey.
