Geotagging Images from CSV File

[dronesurveyor]

Hi there

Can someone please remind me how to geotag a folder of images with a csv file that contains geotags in WGS84 decimal degrees. Image name on the csv matches the image name of jpg

I seem to recall its:
exiftool -geotag geotags.csv imagefoldername
where geotags.csv

Do I then need to tell it the output folder?

Thanks in advance!

Your command will modify the files in imagefoldername, preserving the originals with "_original" added to the name.  To leave the originals alone and output the modified files to a different folder, use -o differentfolder/

See here for details about the CSV file format.

Hi Phil, thanks - where would the -o go in the syntax?

You can put it anywhere except between another option and its argument (if it has one).

From your example command, you couldn't place it between
-geotag geotags.csv

It's usually easiest to add new options to the end of the command.
