Changing the exif data of a photo in the Linux terminal

The following tutorial describes how, using the console, we can edit the exif photo data.

First, we install the necessary exif-tool packages:

Adminer:

sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl

1	sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl

We go to the directory with our photo and to see the current exif data we issue the command in the console:

exiftool image.jpg

1	exiftool image.jpg

image.jpg is replaced by the name of our photo

To change the author of the photo, for example, we issue a command:

exiftool -author="serwerweb" image.jpg

1	exiftool -author="serwerweb" image.jpg

If we want to change both the author and the title of the photo, we issue a command:

exiftool -author="serwerweb" -title="Linux zdjecie" image.jpg

1	exiftool -author="serwerweb" -title="Linux zdjecie" image.jpg

There are many more options available in the exiftool manual, so be sure to check them out.
