## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

exiftran is the command-line EXIF-aware JPEG transformation tool in Gerd Hoffmann's fbida project. It performs lossless rotations and flips like jpegtran while also updating EXIF orientation, image dimensions, and the embedded EXIF thumbnail.

### Projektgeschichte

The exiftran manual identifies the tool as EXIFTRAN 2.09 with copyright dates 2002-2012. The fbida repository groups several photo-oriented image tools together because they share code, with fbi and ida giving the project its name and exiftran provided as the JPEG transformation utility.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The supplied package metadata lists exiftran packages in Homebrew, Debian, MacPorts, and Ubuntu, which reflects its role as a small Unix-style utility packaged across desktop and server-oriented systems.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The manual documents batch operation on one or more JPEG files, automatic rotation from the EXIF orientation tag, in-place editing with optional backups, timestamp preservation, JPEG comment editing, EXIF dumping, and thumbnail regeneration.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Package maintainers care about exiftran because it is a narrow, scriptable image utility with behavior that jpegtran does not cover: it preserves and updates camera metadata and thumbnails during lossless JPEG transforms.

### Zeitleiste

- 2002-2012: exiftran manual copyright range.
- 2012: fbida tag 2.09 includes the exiftran 2.09 manual.
- 2020: fbida project appears on GitLab under kraxel/fbida.
- 2026: GitLab tags show fbida-2.15-1 activity.

### Related projects

- fbida bundles fbi, fbpdf, ida, exiftran, and thumbnail.cgi.
- The exiftran manual compares its lossless JPEG transforms with jpegtran and notes that exiftran also handles EXIF data.
