NAME
jpeginfo - prints information and tests integrity of JPEG/JFIF files.
SYNOPSIS
jpeginfo [ options ] [ filenames ]
DESCRIPTION
jpeginfo is used to generate informative listings of jpeg files, and also to check jpeg
files for errors. Program also supports automatic deletion of broken jpegs.
OUTPUT FORMATS
jpeginfo supports several different output formats. Default formats are meant to be
displayed on screen, while there is also CSV and JSON formats that are easier to parse by
another program.
While CSV and JSON formats always display all "columns", other formats don't display
columns that do not have any data. For example if -c option is not used to check JPEG
integrity, then the `status` (and `details`) columns won't be displayed.
Similarly if MD5/SHA-2 checksum (hash) is not calculated, then that column will not be
shown.
Default Format
Default output format:
<filename> <image_width> x <image_height> <colordepth> <progresive_vs_normal> <markers>
<size>
Example:
$ jpeginfo *.jpeg
IMG_1439.jpeg 3282 x 3024 24bit N JFIF,Exif 2961607
IMG_1560.jpeg 3815 x 2862 24bit N JFIF 1045063
IMG_2520.jpeg 3964 x 2900 24bit N JFIF,Exif,ICC 4712099
Extra information format
Additional information can be displayed using -i option:
<filename> <image_width> x <image_height> <colordepth> <progresive_vs_normal> <markers>
<extra_info> <size>
Example:
$ jpeginfo -i *.jpeg
IMG_1439.jpeg 3282 x 3024 24bit N JFIF,Exif
Huffman,300dpi 2961607
IMG_1560.jpeg 3815 x 2862 24bit N JFIF
Huffman,300dpi 1045063
IMG_2520.jpeg 3964 x 2900 24bit N JFIF,Exif,ICC
Huffman,300dpi 4712099
Ls command style output format
Option -l moves filename to be last column, resulting output that is bit like output from
`ls -l` command:
<image_width> x <image_height> <colordepth> <progresive_vs_normal> <markers> <size>
<filename>
Example:
$ jpeginfo -l *.jpeg
3282 x 3024 24bit N JFIF,Exif 2961607 IMG_1439.jpeg
3815 x 2862 24bit N JFIF 1045063 IMG_1560.jpeg
3964 x 2900 24bit N JFIF,Exif,ICC 4712099 IMG_2520.jpeg
OPTIONS
Options may be either the traditional POSIX one letter options, or the GNU style long
options. POSIX style options start with a single ``-'', while GNU long options start with
``--''.
Options offered by jpeginfo are the following:
-c, --check
Check files also for errors. (default is just to read the headers).
-C, --comments
Display file comments (from COM markers).
-d, --delete
Delete files that have errors. (default is not to delete any files).
-f<filename>, --file<filename>
Read filenames to process from given file. To use standard input (stdin) use '-' as
a filename. This is alternative to default where filenames are given as parameters
to the program.
-h, --help
Display short usage information and exits.
-H, --header
Display column names header in output.
-2, --sha256
Calculates SHA-256 checksum for each file.
--sha512
Calculates SHA-512 checksum for each file.
-5, --md5
Calculates MD5 checksum for each file.
-i, --info
Displays even more information about each picture. Prints image coding
(Huffman/Arithmetic), density (in dpi/dpc), and whether CCIR601 sampling was used or
not.
-j, --json
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) output format.
-l, --lsstyle
Uses alternate listing format (ls -l style).
-v, --verbose
Enables verbose mode (positively chatty).
--version
Displays program version.
-q, --quiet
Quiet mode, output just the jpeg infos.
-s, --csv
Comma separated values (CSV) output format.
-m<mode>, --mode=<mode>
Sets the delete mode, meaningful only when used with -d flag. Mode can be one of
the following:
all Files containing any type of errors/warnings, not necessary preventing the
decoding. (default)
erronly
Only files with serious errors (ie. cannot be decoded at all).
-, --stdin
Read input from standard input (instead of a file).
Known JPEG Markers
jpegoptim scans through application (APP) markers in the JPEG image and will display
information about "well known" markers found in the image. Markers found in image are
listed in the "markers" column.
Known Application Markers
Currently jpegoptim recognizes following common application markers found in JPEG images:
┌────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│Marker Name │ Description │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│JFIF │ JPEG File Interchange Format │
│JFXX │ JFIF Extension │
│Exif │ Exchangeable Image File Format │
│XMP │ Extensible Metadata Platform (Adobe) │
│ICC │ ICC Color Profile │
│IPTC │ IPTC (Adobe Photoshop) │
│Adobe │ Adobe │
│AdobeCM │ Adobe Color Management │
│CIFF │ Canon Raw │
│AVI1 │ AVI Video │
│QVCI │ Casio QVCI │
│FLIR │ FLIR │
│FPXR │ Kodak FlashPix │
│MPF │ CIPA Multi-Picture Format │
│Meta │ Kodak Meta │
│Stim │ CIPA Stereo Still Image │
│JPS │ JPEG Stereo Image │
│Scalado │ Scalado │
│RMETA │ Ricoh Meta │
│EPPIM │ Toshiba PrintIM │
│NITF │ National Imagery Transmission Format │
│GoPro │ GoPro │
│SPIFF │ JPEG Still Picture Interchange File Format │
│AROT │ Apple │
│HDR │ JPEG-HDR │
└────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Other Markers
If image contained any unrecognized application (APP) markers then "UNKNOWN" is added to
the list of found markers.
Additionally if image contained any comment (COM) markers then "COM" is added to the list
of found markers.
