Review
BR’s EXIFextracter is a free useful program that will help you extract and organize most of the basic information stored in your JPEG digital photographs. It creates a CSV file with 15 different metadata fields that you can then use to feed your personal database, allowing you to keep your collection of digital images perfectly cataloged.
The program's simple interface faithfully reflects the simple but efficient functionality it offers you. EXIF metadata extraction is usually one of the many functions you can find in most JPEG viewers, but EXIFextracter is completely devoted to this task. Clearly designed as an intermediary tool, it has chosen CSV (Comma Separated Values) files as the only output format available. This type of text files has traditionally been used to input data into different databases and spreadsheets for further use, though you can also open them directly with popular tools like Microsoft Excel or Access.
The program has selected 15 of the most common values that you can find in the EXIF information embedded in most JPEG images: date, time, camera, model, size, exposure, aperture, focal length, and more. Any of these fields can be checked or unchecked, thus exporting only the metadata you really need. It can process hundreds of images in just a few seconds – you just need to select the folder where you store your images, and EXIFextracter will write your custom CSV file, ignoring those photographs without any EXIF information. |
