A CLI tool to adjust time and date data in EXIF extensions of photos
Project description
exif-time-shift
CLI tool to shift the EXIF date/time of all photos in a directory. Useful when a camera's clock was wrong (e.g. wrong timezone or drifted time) and you want to correct timestamps in bulk.
Supports JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg) and Sony RAW (.arw) files.
Installation
pip install exif-time-shift
Or with uv:
uv tool install exif-time-shift
Usage
exif-time-shift <directory> <minutes>
<directory>— folder containing photos to update (non-recursively)<minutes>— integer offset in minutes (positive = forward, negative = backward)
Examples
# Photos were taken 90 minutes ahead — subtract 90 minutes
exif-time-shift /photos/vacation -90
# Camera was set to UTC but should be UTC+2 — add 120 minutes
exif-time-shift ./raw_files 120
Output per file:
/photos/vacation/IMG_001.jpg: 2024:07:15 14:30:00 -> 2024:07:15 13:00:00
/photos/vacation/IMG_002.arw: 2024:07:15 14:31:10 -> 2024:07:15 13:01:10
