pirafrank/gphotofix repository overview

⁠Google-Photos-EXIF-fixer

⁠Batch fix your EXIF metadata before uploads to Google Photos.

⁠Description

Google Photos doesn't recognize photos with no EXIF metadata and messes around when there's no shooting date in metadata. Using exiftool manually to fix this is pain.

gphotofix is a simple solution. It uses the filename to set shooting date in EXIF metadata. And it does it in batch, yay!

⁠Run it

docker run -v "/dir/with/photos:/photos" pirafrank/gphotofix:latest /photos YYYYMMDD_hhmmss

for a folder where pictures are named like 20201231_235900.jpg.

⁠Build it

docker build -t pirafrank/gphotofix:latest -f Dockerfile .
