## What is Exif Editor and Viewer?

Exif Editor supports viewing and modification of EXIF data of your pictures. EXIF tags can reveal information you do not want to share such as your position, captured device information, or information about tools which were used to enhance the picture. Use Exif Editor to remove, modify, and add individual or multiple EXIF tags.
Exif Editor also supports copying of EXIF data between image files. This can be for instance useful if your photo editing app removes or alters your picture's EXIF tags.

*** Important ***
Please grant EXIF viewer location service (which is asked when opening an image the first time). Location service is required to load EXIF location data and for map visualization.

Features include:
- Add, modify, remove EXIF tags individually
- Modify location data using Maps view (moving markers)
- Copy EXIF tags from existing files
- Copy EXIF tags to clipboard (e.g. for easy sharing by email, and other apps) *NEW*

## Key features

- Add, modify, and remove EXIF tags
- Edit location data with Maps view

### 1/5 — Error

*2026-05-08*

This happens trying to open a standard jpeg image -

Error
Only JPEG files are supported. The selected file's format is: '(null).

### 1/5 — good in theory, but bad in practice

*2026-02-21*

Edited IPTC data are not saved!
I will add 4 stars when this issue is fixed (yes indeed, if this issue is fixed, the app becomes very powerful)

### 2/5 — Hogs the photo caption

*2022-04-30*

When editing a photo, the caption cannot be changed. Please amend

### 3/5 — Could b updated to support the new formats

*2019-07-11*

This would be an even better app if it was updated to support the heif hevc format.

### 1/5 — Leider ohne Funktion

*2019-01-22, version 2.40*

Die App wird anscheinend nicht richtig installiert, jedenfalls taucht sie im Einstellungs-Menu (ipad mini) nicht auf.
Beim laden eines Bildes wird auf die Ortungsfreigabe hingewiesen, auch da ist die App nicht vorhanden.
Schade, mich wundert, dass es so etwas in den Store schafft.
Null Sterne, leider!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert einfach nicht

*2019-01-22, version 2.40*

Ich habe diese App eigentlich gekauft, um die EXIF Infos meiner iPhone Videos zu editieren. Gut, wer nicht lesen kann, ist selber schuld: es lassen sich nur Fotos editieren. Videos werden in der App gar nicht angezeigt. 
Das Problem ist aber, dass auch beim Editieren von Fotos nur die Fehlermeldung kommt, dass nur jpeg unterstützt wird und sich dann die App zum Homebildschirm zurück begibt. Es lässt sich kein einziges Foto editieren. Fazit: 2,29€ zum Fenster rausgeschmissen!

### 1/5 — Не работает под ios 12

*2018-10-29, version 2.39*

Не работает под ios 12

### 4/5 — Very good App for removing/altering metadata

*2018-05-31*

I was surprised to not see any reviews, so
Here goes: I keep this app in my photo toolbox. Being able to remove or modify metadata is important to you. Example: post to social media, but remove the GPS coordinates of your house. Or you want to add info, like the photo author. The only drawback is there is another App called EXIF viewer. I have both, but I really only want one app to do it all. This would be the one I want.

### 1/5 — We can’t modify EXIF

*2018-05-23, version 2.39*

All is in the title. We can’t modify EXIF, it juste create a new file.
If you search a software to modify the original picture, go your way.

### 1/5 — Bearbeiten ja , speichern nein!

*2018-02-06, version 2.39*

Wie es schon oben steht man kann alles bearbeiten! Nur kann es dann nicht gespeichert werden, zumindest bei mir! Daher total nutzlos!
