Have you ever wished you could quickly add date, time, and location information to your photos? Whether you’re organizing travel memories or documenting events, having this metadata visible on the image itself can be incredibly useful.
In this article, I’ll show you how to build a powerful Python-based application that automatically extracts datetime and location data from your photos and overlays it onto the images. Plus, we’ll deploy this solution on AWS using Lambda and S3, making it accessible as a web service.
The following is the photo collage result this function (click to enlarge). Note that I deliberatly remove the location information on the last photo to show the edge case result.
Key Features:
- Extract datetime and GPS coordinates from image EXIF data
- Perform reverse geocoding to get city and country information
- Add extracted information as text overlay to images
- Support for various image formats (JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF) and video formats (MP4, MOV)
- Seamless deployment on AWS for easy access
Let’s dive into how this application works and how you can set it up for yourself!
