Let’s start by displaying a picture Meta-data by running
exiftool Logo.jpg
Using the flag “-S” will give us a very short output format and more compact to the view:
exiftool –S Logo.jpg
We can add “grep” to the command to extract a specific Meta-data: exiftool -S Logo.jpg | grep HistorySoftwareAgent
The flag “-v” is for verbose mode which generates extended information from the picture
If you want a clean Meta-data photo we can use the flag “-all=” to wipe all the information from the photo:
exiftool -all= Logo.jpg
We can also extract Meta-data from video files as well:
