Google Photos Exif

Google photos exif is a digital photo organization utility and metadata restoration tool designed to process exported media backups. It functions as an automation script that scans directories for supported media formats, filters whitelisted photo and video extensions, and updates missing camera timestamp attributes to restore accurate chronological ordering.

The software features algorithmic routines that locate corresponding metadata sidecar files by resolving complex naming patterns, edited suffixes, and numbered duplicates. It matches media files with their companion JSON documents and directly injects recovered creation timestamps into the internal header metadata of target media files.

For reliability during batch execution, the utility includes exception management routines that catch runtime processing failures and automatically relocate problematic media files into a designated quarantine directory for manual inspection.

Features

  • In-Place EXIF Tag Mutators - Directly injects recovered creation timestamps into internal file header metadata without altering existing files.
  • Comprehensive Media File Organizers - Scans photo directories, filters supported extensions, and handles edited or duplicate files without overwriting data.
  • Photo Metadata Restorations - Restores missing original creation timestamps in downloaded Google Photos archives using accompanying JSON sidecar metadata.
  • Export Archive Timestamp Populations - Populates missing timestamp metadata in exported photo archives using accompanying JSON sidecar files for chronological ordering.
  • Sidecar Metadata Associations - Links media files to their corresponding metadata documents by parsing complex filename naming patterns and suffix variations.
  • Filename Suffix Normalizations - Strips automated editing tags and duplicate counters from filenames to locate matching JSON sidecar metadata.
  • Media File Filters - Scans photo directories recursively to filter and process target files matching whitelisted media extensions.
  • Metadata File Matching - Locates corresponding metadata files using naming patterns that account for standard matches, edited suffixes, and numbered duplicates.
  • EXIF Timestamp Populations - Matches media files with corresponding JSON sidecar files across naming patterns and populates missing creation timestamps.
  • Photo Metadata Correction - Updates and fixes missing photo and video timestamp properties so media files display in correct chronological order.
  • Photo Organizers - Provides an automation script that scans directories for supported media formats and updates missing camera timestamp attributes.
  • Edited and Numbered Media Resolutions - Resolves metadata sidecar files for edited images and numbered filename variants by normalizing suffixes to locate JSON sources.
