Download ExifTool 11.15

Phil Harvey has released version 11.15 of ExifTool. ExifTool is a free and cross-platform program that allows the metadata of a large number of files can be managed and edited. It works from the command line, but there are third-party solutions available that allow it to be used with a graphical user interface as well. Since version 11.11, the following changes and improvements have been made:

• Store XMP GPS coordinates with two extra digits of precision and trim trailing zeros
