IPTC Tags

The tags listed below are part of the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) and the Newspaper Association of America (NAA) Information Interchange Model (IIM). This is an older meta information format, slowly being phased out in favor of XMP -- the newer IPTCCore specification uses XMP format. IPTC information may be found in JPG, TIFF, PNG, MIFF, PS, PDF, PSD, XCF and DNG images.

IPTC information is separated into different records, each of which has its own set of tags. See http://www.iptc.org/std/IIM/4.1/specification/IIMV4.1.pdf for the official IPTC IIM specification.

This specification dictates a length for ASCII (string or digits) and binary (undef) values. These lengths are given in square brackets after the Writable format name. For tags where a range of lengths is allowed, the minimum and maximum lengths are separated by a comma within the brackets. IPTC strings are not null terminated. When writing, ExifTool issues a minor warning and truncates the value if it is longer than allowed by the IPTC specification. Minor errors may be ignored with the IgnoreMinorErrors (-m) option, allowing longer values to be written, but beware that values like this may cause problems for some other IPTC readers. ExifTool will happily read IPTC values of any length.

Separate IPTC date and time tags may be written with a combined date/time value and ExifTool automagically takes the appropriate part of the date/time string depending on whether a date or time tag is being written. This is very useful when copying date/time values to IPTC from other metadata formats.

IPTC time values include a timezone offset. If written with a value which doesn't include a timezone then the current local timezone offset is used (unless written with a combined date/time, in which case the local timezone offset at the specified date/time is used, which may be different due to changes in daylight savings time).

Note that it is not uncommon for IPTC to be found in non-standard locations in JPEG and TIFF-based images. When reading, the family 1 group name has a number added for non-standard IPTC ("IPTC2", "IPTC3", etc), but when writing only "IPTC" may be specified as the group. To keep the IPTC consistent, ExifTool updates tags in all existing IPTC locations, but will create a new IPTC group only in the standard location.

The escape sequence for UTF-8 character coding is "ESC % G", but this is displayed as "UTF8" for convenience. Either string may be used when writing. The value of this tag affects the decoding of string values in the Application and NewsPhoto records. This tag is marked as "unsafe" to prevent it from being copied by default in a group operation because existing tags in the destination image may use a different encoding. When creating a new IPTC record from scratch, it is suggested that this be set to "UTF8" if special characters are a possibility)100UniqueObjectNamestring[14,80] 120ARMIdentifierint16u 122ARMVersionint16u
