I’m talking about this metadata:

Winblows file properties dialog

I know that this command:

magick mogrify -strip image.jpg

can clear all the info. But I don’t know is it possible to write some metadata with ImageMagick?

This seems to work:

convert input.png -set new_attribute "attribute value" output.png

At least it works according to imagemagick's identify -verbose, I can't test if these properties show up on windows too. It should also be simple to overwrite other metadata, simply by first finding the actual key with identify -verbose, I guess.

For more information, here's the official documentation:

    ImageMagick cannot write meta data other than the comment and label fields. The -set command (other than -set comment or -set label) does not write to the stored meta fields. It only writes to in-memory for use later in the same command line. If you want to write to stored meta fields, then best to use EXIFTOOL or the like.
