Intro - Examples
photo-cli is CLI tool (works on macOS & Windows & Linux) that extracts when and where (reverse geocode) your photographs are taken, copy into a new organized folder (not modifying source folder) with various folder & file naming strategies or export all data into CSV (can view on Microsoft Excel, Libre/OpenOffice Calc, Apple Numbers, Google Sheets) files. With this exported CSV file you can navigate your photo locations on Google Maps & Earth with your custom label and pin style.
Features Explained With An Example
There is three main feature that can be explain better with examples.
- Copy into a new organized folder
- Export all extracted information into a CSV Report
- Navigate Your Photo Locations on Google Maps & Earth
1. Copy Into a New Organized Folder Example With photo-cli copy Command

What Happened? / How It Is Processed?
There is lots of transformation options and customization settings, this is just a one of them. This transformation is done by running only the following single command;
Command with explicit argument names & values
photo-cli copy --process-type SubFoldersPreserveFolderHierarchy --naming-style DateTimeWithSecondsAddress --number-style PaddingZeroCharacter --folder-append DayRange --folder-append-location Prefix --reverse-geocode OpenStreetMapFoundation --openstreetmap-properties country city town suburb --output photo-cli-test --no-coordinate InSubFolder --no-taken-date InSubFolder
Same command with shorter alias of all argument names & values
photo-cli copy -f 2 -s 8 -n 2 -a 4 -p 1 -e 2 -r country city town suburb -o photo-cli-test -c 3 -t 3
Console/terminal output (as progress may take time, for each operation completion status shown with progress)
Searching photos: finished. 17 photos found.
Parsing photo exif information: finished.
This OpenStreetMapFoundation provider is using rate limit of 1 seconds between each request
Reverse Geocoding: finished.
Directory grouping: finished.
Processing target folder: finished.
Writing csv report: finished.
- 18 photos copied.
- 4 directories created.
- 15 photos has taken date and coordinate.
- 1 photos has taken date but no coordinate.
- 2 photos has no taken date and coordinate.
Step By Step photo-cli copy Process
- Gather all photo paths in the source folder within subfolders.
- Extract EXIF data of each photograph's taken date and coordinate.
- As file name strategy is selected as
DateTimeWithSecondsAddressand it contains address, by using third-party reverse geocode provider we are building address withOpenStreetMapby using given administrative levels ascity town suburbfor each photograph. - As folder process type is selected as
SubFoldersPreserveFolderHierarchyfolder and file hierarchy at the new output folder will be same. - As folder append type is selected as
DayRangeand folder append location isPrefix, folder names on output folder will be created with same name prefixed with a earliest and latest photograph taken date. For example:2005.12.14-2008.10.22-Italy album(original folder name isItaly album) - As file name strategy is selected as
DateTimeWithSecondsAddresseach photograph file name would be copied as photo taken date unified with the address which is built from third party reverse geocode provider by photograph's coordinate. For example:2012.06.22_19.52.31-United Kingdom-Ascot-Sunninghill and Ascot.jpg(original file name isGOPR6742.jpg) - As no photograph taken date action is selected as
InSubFolderand no coordinate action is selected asInSubFolder, photographs with no related EXIF data copied into a sub folder by obeying original folder hierarchy. For example:/Italy album/no-address/IMG_2371.jpgand/Spain Journey/no-address-and-no-photo-taken-date/IMG_5397.jpg - To verify and see all information in one place,
photo-cli-report.csvreport will be created on the output file. Can be examined in Markdown table or CSV file.
