ExifTool
Extracts hidden metadata from images, documents, and media.
ExifTool's home page describes it as a platform-independent Perl library plus a command-line application for reading, writing and editing meta information in a wide variety of files. Its description names EXIF, GPS, IPTC and XMP among the metadata it handles. Listed features include output in tab-delimited, HTML, XML and JSON, comparing two files for metadata differences, and deleting meta information individually, in groups, or altogether. It is also available as a Windows executable and a MacOS package.
