Description

QT CXX

QT6 CXX20 console app to convert photos, collect Exif/IPTC and add metadata to DB.

The purpose of this tool is to run as a microservice to prepare photos for a web-based photo-gallery.

Photos are converted into different sizes in WebP format and the metadata is written into a database.

Any existing Exif and IPTC metadata is also taken into account.
