ExifTags Module

The ExifTags module exposes several enum.IntEnum classes which provide constants and clear-text names for various well-known EXIF tags.

PIL.ExifTags.Base

>>> from PIL.ExifTags import Base
>>> Base.ImageDescription.value
270
>>> Base(270).name
'ImageDescription'

PIL.ExifTags.GPS

>>> from PIL.ExifTags import GPS
>>> GPS.GPSDestLatitude.value
20
>>> GPS(20).name
'GPSDestLatitude'

PIL.ExifTags.Interop

>>> from PIL.ExifTags import Interop
>>> Interop.RelatedImageFileFormat.value
4096
>>> Interop(4096).name
'RelatedImageFileFormat'

PIL.ExifTags.IFD

>>> from PIL.ExifTags import IFD
>>> IFD.Exif.value
34665
>>> IFD(34665).name
'Exif

PIL.ExifTags.LightSource

>>> from PIL.ExifTags import LightSource
>>> LightSource.Unknown.value
0
>>> LightSource(0).name
'Unknown'

Two of these values are also exposed as dictionaries.

PIL.ExifTags.TAGS: dict

The TAGS dictionary maps 16-bit integer EXIF tag enumerations to descriptive string names. For instance:

>>> from PIL.ExifTags import TAGS
>>> TAGS[0x010e]
'ImageDescription'

PIL.ExifTags.GPSTAGS: dict

The GPSTAGS dictionary maps 8-bit integer EXIF GPS enumerations to descriptive string names. For instance:

>>> from PIL.ExifTags import GPSTAGS
>>> GPSTAGS[20]
'GPSDestLatitude'
