goexif

The following is a Go based EXIF CLI tool.

Commands

Commands available in the CLI.

sort

Sort media into directories based on the date and time the media was taken by running the sort sub-command. The sort command will reference the media metadata (e.g. EXIF) looking for common Date tags in order to determine when the media was taken. When a date is found, the resulting media will be placed into a new folder that uses the following YYY/MM/DD convention:

Example:

# Input
./image1.jpg
./image2.heic

# goexif sort
$ ./goexif sort --src-dir . --dry-run=false

# Output - YYYY/MM/DD
./2023/01/01/image1.jpg
./2023/02/01/image2.heic

Reference the help text for the sort command for available options.

./goexif sort --help

date

Date prints the discovered date metadata from the media

Example:

# goexif date
$ ./goexif date --src-file IMG.jpg
