Extracts:
- file size
- gps
- Exif data
Allows export to:
- Excel
- SQLite
- Feather
and anything else that Pandas supports.
$ pip install exif2pandas --user
To export the dataframe you will need one of these modules:
- SQLite:
pip install --user SQLAlchemy - Feather:
pip install --user pyarrow - Excel:
pip install --user xlsxwriter
usage: exif2pandas [-h] [-s SQLITE] [-f FEATHER] [-e EXCEL] [-p PROCESSES]
picture_folders [picture_folders ...]
Generate sql database with exif data.
positional arguments:
picture_folders Folders with the images
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s SQLITE, --sqlite SQLITE
Output the data frame to SQLite file (this will
override existing file!)
-f FEATHER, --feather FEATHER
Output the data frame to feather file (this will
override existing file!)
-e EXCEL, --excel EXCEL
Output the data frame to excel (this will override
existing file!)
-p PROCESSES, --processes PROCESSES
number of processes to use for collecting exif data,
defaults to 5
$ exif2pandas ~/Dropbox/Photos/ -s ~/photo_metadata.sqlite
While this is not a benchmark at all, it takes me about 10 seconds to process 123 GB of photos. This was taken at my Dell XPS 9570 with Intel® Core™ i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz × 12 CPU using 5 processes.
The resulting file is about 13 MB large.
The following is an example of columns that are generated - some cameras might include different fields.
- all the columns ending with
-floatare evaluated fractions cleaned_date- this is original date - ignores date set by editors..cleaned_latitude- converted latitude to GPS style, the algorithm is not very precise as far as I knowcleaned_longitude- longitudesize_megabytes- image size in megabytesfilename- original filename
