In Python, how do I read the exif data for an image?

I'm using PIL. How do I turn the EXIF data of a picture into a dictionary?
You can use the _getexif() protected method of a PIL Image. import PIL.Image img = PIL.Image.open('img.jpg') exif_data = img._getexif() This should give you a dictionary indexed by EXIF numeric tags. If you want the dictionary indexed by the actual EXIF tag name strings, try something like: import PIL.ExifTags exif = { PIL.ExifTags.TAGS[k]: v for k, v in img._getexif().items() if k in PIL.ExifTags.TAGS }
