Crate exiftool_rs 

exiftool

A Rust reimplementation of ExifTool for reading, writing, and editing metadata in image, audio, video, and document files.

Quick Start

use exiftool_rs::ExifTool;

let et = ExifTool::new();
let tags = et.extract_info("photo.jpg").unwrap();
for tag in &tags {
    println!("{}: {}", tag.name, tag.print_value);
}

One-liner

let info = exiftool_rs::image_info("photo.jpg").unwrap();
println!("Camera: {}", info.get("Model").unwrap_or(&String::new()));

Writing Tags

use exiftool_rs::ExifTool;

let mut et = ExifTool::new();
et.set_new_value("Artist", Some("John Doe"));
et.write_info("photo.jpg", "photo_out.jpg").unwrap();

Supported Formats (30+ readers, 15 writers)

Images: JPEG, TIFF, PNG, WebP, PSD, BMP, GIF, HEIF/AVIF, ICO Raw: CR2, NEF, DNG, ARW, ORF, RAF, RW2, PEF, SR2, X3F, 3FR, ERF Video: MP4/MOV, AVI, MKV Audio: MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG Documents: PDF
