Extract information from a picture

 $ exiftool example.jpg  ( could be example.pdf example.svg )

To change all the dates and times (DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate and ModifyDate) of the IMG_01.jpg file to the 8th of August 2010 at 3:35:33 PM :

$ exiftool -AllDates='2010:08:08 15:35:33' -overwrite_original IMG_01.jpg

change the dates on all the files in the “images” directory :

$ exiftool -AllDates='2010:08:08 15:35:33' -overwrite_original images

The “-overwrite_original” option is necessary if you want to change the meta-data of the original images. If you omit that option, then exiftool will back-up the originals by making a copy of them and adding “_original” to the end of the file names.

change the dates to all the files in the “images” directory that were taken by a Cannon camera (and not touch the rest):

$ exiftool -AllDates='2010:08:08 15:35:33' -if '$make eq "Canon"' -overwrite_original images
