Image timestamp and EXIF data manipulation. More information: <https://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/usage.html>.

  • Show all EXIF data:
    jhead path/to/image.jpg
  • Set the file's date and time to the EXIF create date (file creation date will be changed):
    jhead -ft path/to/image.jpg
  • Set the EXIF time to the file's date and time (EXIF data will be changed):
    jhead -dsft path/to/image.jpg
  • Rename all JPEG files based on the EXIF create date to `YYYY_MM_DD-HH_MM_SS.jpg`:
    jhead -n%Y_%m_%d-%H_%M_%S *.jpg
  • Rotate losslessly all JPEG images by 90, 180 or 270 based on the EXIF orientation tag:
    jhead -autorot *.jpg
  • Update all EXIF timestamps (Format: +- hour:minute:seconds) (example: forgot to change the camera's time zone - removing 1 hour from timestamps):
    jhead -ta-1:00:00 *.jpg
  • Remove all EXIF data (including thumbnails):
    jhead -purejpg path/to/image.jpg
