Real customer testimonials: "Finally - This program is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use but very effective and comprehensive. And the best: Pay once and good! Thanks to the developer!" "Just good! - Comprehensive and zero effort to use. For me the best app to edit the EXIF data of my photos. The presets are great and finally no in-app purchases! Keep it up!" "IPad version - it is here - Many thanks to the developer. Now I can add location information to photos on iPad. The developer also responds very quickly to requests and suggestions for improvement." "For a long time I was missing a possibility on the iPhone / iPad to store the location data of photos, because I still shoot a lot with "old" DSLRs and they do not have GPS. With this, this also works from Apple's photo app. Without complications. That's how it should be!" The app works with: - All photos in your iPhone or iPad photo library. - Photos in iCloud (Apple's exclusive file app, locally and in the cloud. Third-party cloud apps are only partially supported because their manufacturers do not fully support Apple's file API – please use with caution!) What the app doesn't do: - Changing the filename: EXIF isn't about filenames. Also iOS does not allow the renaming of photos in the Photos Library. - Until now it can't edit RAW (will come in a later release) or PNG (see below why). - Full support of third-party cloud apps (e.g., GDrive or OneDrive) are only partially supported because their manufacturers do not fully support apples files api. Do you have questions or need help? Write to imagexif@gmail.com, we're happy to help! Question: What is EXIF data? EXIF stands for "Exchangeable Image File Format." When you take or receive a photo with a digital camera, it contains invisible metadata. This is information attached to the photo that describes, for example, certain properties and settings of the camera or even the place where the picture was taken. Services that can read this data are able to collect the circumstances and contexts of the photos and match them with certain other events (e.g. calendar entries, motion profiles, etc.). Question: Why doesn't the app handle PNG? Unfortunately, the Photos API does not allow modification of PNG files, but saves them as JPG. Therefore, to avoid confusion, imagExif cannot edit PNGs.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: ImagExif 2 at fortnightly against Anonymizer's every 10 months. ImagExif 2 also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 57%). Anonymizer's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anonymizer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anonymizer has 68 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Anonymizer's written reviews are positive against 77% of ImagExif 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anonymizer ships an update every 10 months, ImagExif 2 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
