About
Every photo you take carries a hidden file of its own: where you stood, what camera you used, its serial number, the exact second you pressed the shutter, and which app last touched it. EXIF Magic shows you all of it — beautifully — and lets you remove or rewrite any of it before you share.
READ EVERYTHING
EXIF Magic recognises 128 named metadata fields across EXIF, TIFF, IPTC, GPS and manufacturer maker notes, and it formats them the way a photographer actually reads them: f/1.8, 1/250 s, +0.33 EV, ISO 3200, 24 mm. Anything unusual your camera wrote is still surfaced under Advanced, so nothing is quietly hidden from you.
Fields are grouped into clean categories — Image, Camera, Capture, Location, Annotations, File and Advanced — with a searchable view of every field in the file.
SEE WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO REVEAL
Open a photo and EXIF Magic tells you, in plain language, what it discloses: exact GPS coordinates, device serial number, camera make and model, capture date and time, author name. No jargon, no digging.
STRIP IT CLEANLY
One tap removes all metadata. Another removes only location and keeps your camera settings. Or choose exactly which containers to clear — EXIF, GPS, TIFF, IPTC, XMP, maker notes — with an option to keep the orientation tag so your photo doesn't rotate in other apps.
That includes the editing-software tag that some platforms use to slap an "AI" label on genuine photographs. Clear it and your work goes out as your work.
SET A NEW LOCATION
Clean the file completely, then stamp on coordinates of your choosing. Pick a spot on the map, search by place name, address or ZIP code, or paste coordinates straight in. Everything the camera recorded — altitude, heading, GPS timestamps — is removed first, so the only location data in the exported copy is the one you chose.
REPLACE THE ORIGINAL
Save a cleaned copy alongside the original, or turn on "Delete original after saving" to replace it outright. The copy is always written to your library first and iOS asks you to confirm the deletion, so the only version of a photo can never go missing.
ZERO QUALITY LOSS
This matters, and most tools get it wrong. EXIF Magic never decodes and re-encodes your picture. It copies the original compressed image data and rewrites only the metadata, so the exported file is pixel-for-pixel identical to what you started with. Same dimensions. Same colour profile. No extra JPEG generation loss.
VERIFIED, NOT PROMISED
Every export is re-read and checked before you're allowed to save it. If anything sensitive survived, the export is refused and you're told why. And when a copy legitimately keeps metadata — an edit, or a location you set on purpose — EXIF Magic says so plainly instead of showing a reassuring green tick over a file that still carries coordinates.
EDIT SAFELY
Change author, title, description, copyright, keywords, camera make and model, capture dates or GPS coordinates. Clear any field to delete that tag entirely.
COPY IT OUT
Put the whole metadata set on your clipboard as aligned, readable text or as structured JSON, ready to paste into a note, an email or another tool. Long-press any single row to copy just that value.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device using Apple's own ImageIO framework. No servers, no uploads, no analytics, no accounts. EXIF Magic doesn't even ask to read your photo library — the system picker hands over only the photo you choose. Full access is requested only if you turn on replacing originals, and only to delete the photo you asked it to replace.
Built for photographers, journalists, researchers, and anyone who would rather decide for themselves what travels with their pictures.
