Resize image in Python without losing EXIF data

Question

I need to resize jpg images with Python without losing the original image\'s EXIF data (metadata about date taken, camera model etc.). All google searches about python and i

Answer 1

For pyexiv2 v0.3.2, the API documentation refers to the copy method to carry over EXIF data from one image to another. In this case it would be the EXIF data of the original image over to the resized image.

Going off @Maksym Kozlenko, the updated code for copying EXIF data is:

    source_image = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(source_path)
    source_image.read()

    dest_image = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(dest_path)
    dest_image.read()

    source_image.copy(dest_image,exif=True)
    dest_image.write()
