About
[From the Developer]
As a news agency photographer, I use this app in my daily work.
I built it so photographers can send images to their agency
instantly from an iPhone or iPad instead of a PC — to help
photographers everywhere deliver breaking news faster.
Shoot. Caption. Send. Straight from the field, in seconds.
IPTCPhotoSender is the all-in-one wireless workflow for press and sports
photographers. Version 3.0 adds a BUILT-IN FTP SERVER, so your camera sends
photos straight into the app — no separate receiver app and no computer
required. Add IPTC captions and credits with reusable templates, then transmit
to your picture desk over FTP — all on your iPhone or iPad.
RECEIVE WIRELESSLY — NEW in 3.0
- Built-in FTP server receives photos directly from FTP-capable cameras
(Canon, Nikon, Sony, and more).
- No tethering app or PC needed — connect the camera and start shooting.
- Free camera connection settings and guides on our support site.
VOICE TAGS (AUDIO MEMOS)
- Voice annotations you recorded on the camera are received paired with
their photos.
- Play them back to check on the photo editing screen (Photos and Sent tabs).
- On sending, a voice tag stays linked to its photo and is delivered with it —
so your spoken notes travel with the image.
IPTC METADATA & TEMPLATES
- 20 IPTC fields; choose which fields are shown and in what order.
- Save templates and apply them to all, selected, or individual photos.
- Gap-free sequence numbering you won't find anywhere else: {Seq} (full-width
{Jseq}) is assigned at the MOMENT OF SENDING, in capture-time order, and only
to photos you actually transmit — no gaps, and the last number is your exact
sent count. Once assigned it's locked: resend a sent photo and it keeps its
number. {Edate} / {Jdate} add dates automatically.
- Date/Time Created is filled automatically from capture time, with the correct
time zone.
- Lossless embedding — EXIF, maker notes, and image quality are preserved
(no re-compression).
CODE REPLACEMENTS (Photo Mechanic compatible)
- Import game/event code files, or add your own codes in the app.
- Type a short code and it expands to the full text on apply.
- Sample codes are included to try right away.
FAST EDITING & REVIEW
- Large full-screen preview to recognize shots at a glance.
- Swipe or tap between photos; scroll position is kept, so you can compare the
same field across frames.
- Pinch-to-zoom the full-resolution image to check focus.
- Crop, voice-tag playback, and per-photo actions.
SEND & SHARE
- Send all, send only the selected photos, or send a single photo — stop any
time.
- RAW / original send mode for unprocessed files.
- Share a photo with metadata embedded, or the original, via
AirDrop / Mail / Messages.
- Multiple FTP server profiles.
- Sent list with resend and share.
BUILT FOR THE FIELD
- Screen Guard locks the screen while receiving or sending, so a stray touch
won't interrupt a transfer.
- If a server or connection is briefly unstable, sending auto-retries to push
through (up to 4 attempts, increasing the wait each time); progress and retry
status show on screen.
- Export / import templates to share with colleagues.
- Fully bilingual: English and Japanese.

What's New in IPTCPhotoSender
