Download ExifTool 12.76

Phil Harvey released versions 12.75 and 12.76 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, but version 12.76 is a stable release. Since version 12.74, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 12.76:

• Properly implement patch of 12.45 to avoid duplicating raw data when writing Sony ARW images where the raw data is double-referenced as both strips and tiles
• Improved handling of bad offsets in HtmlDump output

Changes in version 12.75:

• CORRUPTION WARNING: Fixed bug introduced in 12.45 which could result in corrupted Sony ARW images from some newer models when rewriting lossless compressed ARW images which were previously edited by 12.44 or earlier (the corruption is repairable, but requires a special version of ExifTool)
• Added ability to read C2PA JUMBF metadata from PDF and SVG files
• Added ability to extract JUMBF metadata as a block
• Added read support for C2PA (JUMBF format) files
• Removed “date before 1970” warning entirely since 64-bit systems should be able to handle dates in this range
• Improved Canon FocusMode decoding
• Fixed bug introduced in 12.74 which could cause “Undefined subroutine” runtime error when reading MIE files
