EXIF Inspector

About

This little app grew out of the desire to better understand how metadata was stored inside image files, particularly geolocation data, while having practically zero knowledge of photography or graphic design.

Built With...

The underlying functionality to read and edit metadata is provided by exiftool, developed by Phil Harvey. This is perhaps the most comprehensive, flexible, and powerful image metadata tool available. And it's open-source!

On top of exiftool, my own Node.js package provides an abstracted api to simplify the complex incantations required to interact with the metadata.
