Download ExifTool 12.70

Phil Harvey has released version 12.70 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. New versions are released regularly, but most releases are made available under the beta banner. However, version 12.70 is a stable release and also marks the 20th anniversary of the program. The changelog for this release looks like this:
