About
Advanced Photo Importer is a powerful QGIS plugin that simplifies the integration of geotagged photos into your GIS projects. It automatically extracts GPS coordinates, direction, and timestamp from EXIF data, creates point layers, and provides intuitive tools for managing, filtering, labeling, and visualizing your field photos on the map. Key features: - Import photos from file or folder (recursive) with automatic EXIF extraction - Create point layers (in-memory or saved as GPKG/Shapefile) - Customizable SVG camera markers with rotation based on photo direction - Date/time range filtering independent of manual visibility control - Label styling with font, color, size, and buffer controls - Click-on-map tool to open photos - Export/import photo metadata to/from Excel - Group management for organizing photos All required Python libraries (exifread, openpyxl) are bundled with the plugin. No additional installation is needed — everything works out of the box.
