How to edit or fix photo and video Metadata using ExifTool.Hope this was useful, and I highly recommend the thorough documentation for exiftool on its website. kml files behind this to geotag many old photos. Those of you who use Google Maps may be interested to know that a feature called "Location Timeline" records your coordinates constantly, and using Google Takeout you can export the. I personally assign the closest coordinate within 2 minutes to a photo, so I use "GeoMa圎xtSecs=120". guess the coordinate of a photo if none are available for that exact time), and "GeoMa圎xtSecs=SS" tells it to use the closest coordinate in time at a maximum of "SS" seconds from the photo. Finally, "GeoMaxIntSecs=0" tells exiftool NOT to interpolate coordinates (i.e. a photo taken at 9pm in Germany will match the coordinates recorded at 7pm UTC). For example, in summer Germany is UTC+02:00 - if I have corrected my photos to have the correct German time, I need to tell exiftool that the GPS coordinate times will be 2 hours behind (e.g. Assuming the times corresponding to their coordinates are in UTC (they usually are), switch "+HH:MM" out for the UTC timezone of the camera. gpx, etc., full list here) in /GPSFILES/.

This will geotag all photos in the current directory with the closest GPS coordinate in time. exiftool -geotag '/GPSFILES/*' '-geotime<$+HH:MM' -api GeoMaxIntSecs=0 -api GeoMa圎xtSecs=SS * The "_00" at the end is a sequential number for when you take burst photos with the exact same time. This takes all the photos from /SOURCEDIR/ and moves them into /OUTPUTDIR/ in the following format: 2020/-04-31_140426_00.JPG. exiftool -r -P -progress -d /OUTPUTDIR/%Y/%m/%d/%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S%%+.2c.%%e "-filename
