HOW TO FIND SOMEONE'S LOCATION JUST FROM A PHOTO

It is a simple program in python that will give us the metadata of a photo

This code is not listed notes next to the tangible commands as they are very simple and understandable to everyone, even someone who has almost no experience can understand the program

import argparse
from PIL import Image
from PIL.ExifTags import TAGS

def getMetaData(imgname, out):
        try:
                metaData = {}
                
                imgFile = Image.open(imgname)
                print "getting meta data..."
                info = imgFile._getexif()
                if info:
                        print "Found meta data!"
                        for (tag, value) in info.items():
                                tagname = TAGS.get(tag, tag)
                                metaData[tagname] = value
                                if not out:
                                        print tagname, value
                        if out:
                                print "Outputting to file..."
                                with open(out, 'w') as f:
                                        for (tagname, value) in metaData.items():
                                                f.write(str(tagname)+"\t"+\
                                                        str(value)+"\n")
        except:
                print "failed"
def Main():
        parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
        parser.add_argument("img", help="name of an image file.")
        parser.add_argument("--output","-o", help="dump data out to file")
        args = parser.parse_args()
        if args.img:
                getMetaData(args.img, args.output)
        else:
                print parser.usage

if __name__ == '__main__':
        Main()

After copying the code and saving it as extractMetaData.py, we will run our program in the terminal and give the following command to find the metadata of a photo and save it in a .txt file.

If we saved the program on the Desktop and the icon is also on the desktop, the command will be like this:

python extractMetaData.py image.jpg -o data.txt

otherwise if we don’t want the data in txt then we will give the following command:

python extractMetaData.py image.jpg
