+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of

+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164

+ # Media Metadata Surgery
37
+
38
+ **Media Metadata Surgery** is a precision‑focused, offline CLI tool for inspecting and modifying metadata in media files.
39
+
40
+ The core engine is written in **Go** for performance, safety, and correctness. A lightweight **Python wrapper** is used only for distribution, making the tool easy to install via `pip` while keeping the actual logic native and fast.
41
+
42
+ > v0.1.0 is the beginning. The project is intentionally small, strict, and correct. More formats and operations will be added incrementally.
43
+
44
+ ---
45
+
46
+ ## Why Media Metadata Surgery exists
47
+
48
+ Media files silently carry far more information than most users realize:
49
+
50
+ * GPS location and timestamps
51
+ * Device make, model, and camera internals
52
+ * Processing pipelines, filters, and AI hints
53
+ * Hidden user comments and sensor data
54
+
55
+ This project exists to:
56
+
57
+ * **Expose metadata clearly**
58
+ * **Operate fully offline**
59
+ * **Avoid heavy external dependencies**
60
+ * **Favor correctness over convenience**
61
+
62
+ No cloud. No telemetry. No shelling out to system tools.
63
+
64
+ ---
65
+
66
+ ## Current status
67
+
68
+ **Version:** `0.1.0` (initial release)
69
+
70
+ This version intentionally supports **only one format and one operation**:
71
+
72
+ * JPG / JPEG
73
+ * EXIF metadata inspection (read‑only)
74
+
75
+ This narrow scope allows the foundation to remain clean and extensible.
76
+
77
+ ---
78
+
79
+ ## Installation
80
+
81
+ ### Install via pip (recommended)
82
+
83
+ ```bash
84
+ pip install surgery
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ This installs the `surgery` command globally. The Go binary is bundled inside the Python package.
88
+
89
+ ---
90
+
91
+ ### Build from source (Go)
92
+
93
+ Requirements:
94
+
95
+ * Go 1.20+
96
+
97
+ ```bash
98
+ git clone https://github.com/ankit-chaubey/media-metadata-surgery
99
+ cd media-metadata-surgery
100
+ go build -o surgery ./cli
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ Run directly:
104
+
105
+ ```bash
106
+ ./surgery view image.jpg
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ ---
110
+
111
+ ## Usage
112
+
113
+ ### View EXIF metadata from a JPG image
114
+
115
+ ```bash
116
+ surgery view image.jpg
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ Example output:
120
+
121
+ ````text
122
+ EXIF Metadata:
123
+ Make: "vivo"
124
+ Model: "vivo T1 5G"
125
+ DateTimeOriginal: "2026:02:04 18:44:10"
126
+ GPSLatitude: ["18/1","20/1","4247/900"]
127
+ GPSLongitude: ["84/1","25/1","4824/190"]
128
+ UserComment: "filter: 104; ..."
129
+ ````
130
+
131
+ ---
132
+
133
+ ## Supported formats (v0.1.0)
134
+
135
+ | Media type | Format | Operation |
136
+ | ---------- | ---------- | ------------------ |
137
+ | Image | JPG / JPEG | View EXIF metadata |
138
+
139
+ More formats will be added only when they can be handled correctly.

156
+
157
+ Design principles:
158
+
159
+ * Go does all real work
160
+ * Python only launches the binary
161
+ * No CGO
162
+ * No external system tools
163
+
164
+ ---
165
+
166
+ ## Security & privacy notes
167
+
168
+ * All operations are **offline**
169
+ * No network access
170
+ * No background processes
171
+ * Viewing metadata does not modify files
172
+
173
+ Metadata removal, when added, will be explicit and opt‑in.
174
+
175
+ ---
176
+
177
+ ## Roadmap
178
+
179
+ Planned, in order of correctness priority:
180
+
181
+ * GPS metadata removal (JPG)
182
+ * Structured JSON output
183
+ * Audio metadata (MP3 / FLAC)
184
+ * Video containers (MP4 / MKV)
185
+ * Batch processing
186
+ * Integrity and diff reporting
187
+
188
+ The project will grow conservatively.

149
+ * Video containers (MP4 / MKV)
150
+ * Batch processing
151

152

153

+ # Media Metadata Surgery
37
+
38
+ **Media Metadata Surgery** is a precision‑focused, offline CLI tool for inspecting and modifying metadata in media files.
39
+
40
+ The core engine is written in **Go** for performance, safety, and correctness. A lightweight **Python wrapper** is used only for distribution, making the tool easy to install via `pip` while keeping the actual logic native and fast.
41
+
42
+ > v0.1.0 is the beginning. The project is intentionally small, strict, and correct. More formats and operations will be added incrementally.
43
+
44
+ ---
45
+
46
+ ## Why Media Metadata Surgery exists
47
+
48
+ Media files silently carry far more information than most users realize:
49
+
50
+ * GPS location and timestamps
51
+ * Device make, model, and camera internals
52
+ * Processing pipelines, filters, and AI hints
53
+ * Hidden user comments and sensor data
54
+
55
+ This project exists to:
56
+
57
+ * **Expose metadata clearly**
58
+ * **Operate fully offline**
59
+ * **Avoid heavy external dependencies**
60
+ * **Favor correctness over convenience**
61
+
62
+ No cloud. No telemetry. No shelling out to system tools.
63
+
64
+ ---
65
+
66
+ ## Current status
67
+
68
+ **Version:** `0.1.0` (initial release)
69
+
70
+ This version intentionally supports **only one format and one operation**:
71
+
72
+ * JPG / JPEG
73
+ * EXIF metadata inspection (read‑only)
74
+
75
+ This narrow scope allows the foundation to remain clean and extensible.
76
+
77
+ ---
78
+
79
+ ## Installation
80
+
81
+ ### Install via pip (recommended)
82
+
83
+ ```bash
84
+ pip install surgery
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ This installs the `surgery` command globally. The Go binary is bundled inside the Python package.
88
+
89
+ ---
90
+
91
+ ### Build from source (Go)
92
+
93
+ Requirements:
94
+
95
+ * Go 1.20+
96
+
97
+ ```bash
98
+ git clone https://github.com/ankit-chaubey/media-metadata-surgery
99
+ cd media-metadata-surgery
100
+ go build -o surgery ./cli
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ Run directly:
104
+
105
+ ```bash
106
+ ./surgery view image.jpg
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ ---
110
+
111
+ ## Usage
112
+
113
+ ### View EXIF metadata from a JPG image
114
+
115
+ ```bash
116
+ surgery view image.jpg
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ Example output:
120
+
121
+ ````text
122
+ EXIF Metadata:
123
+ Make: "vivo"
124
+ Model: "vivo T1 5G"
125
+ DateTimeOriginal: "2026:02:04 18:44:10"
126
+ GPSLatitude: ["18/1","20/1","4247/900"]
127
+ GPSLongitude: ["84/1","25/1","4824/190"]
128
+ UserComment: "filter: 104; ..."
129
+ ````
130
+
131
+ ---
132
+
133
+ ## Supported formats (v0.1.0)
134
+
135
+ | Media type | Format | Operation |
136
+ | ---------- | ---------- | ------------------ |
137
+ | Image | JPG / JPEG | View EXIF metadata |
138
+
139
+ More formats will be added only when they can be handled correctly.
