mee

Minimalistic EXIF Editor.

MEE allows you to get, remove and change EXIF tags in images.

In addition to this, support for custom tags is implemented here. Custom tags are written in JSON format to the UserComment tag. MEE can operate with them in the same way as with ordinary tags. Be aware of the 64 kilobytes limit for the UserComment tag.

Custom tags entered there can only be interpreted manually or with MEE.

Roadmap:

  • Implement Mee as Python class

  • EXIF libraries support

    • exif (only JPEG)
    • piexif (JPEG, WebP, TIFF)
    • pillow (JPEG, WebP, TIFF, PNG)
    • Wrap Perl exiftool?
