MetaFixer fixes your Google Photos Takeout zip file's missing photos and videos metadata and streamlines the process of saving them back to your device’s photo library. The recommended method for exporting your Google Photos with all its metadata is via takeout. However, because Google Photos does not modify the EXIF metadata of any photos and videos for which you may have provided custom dates and locations in Google Photos, your photos and videos may appear with incorrect dates or locations once saved to your device. In addition, because the associated video of any live photos are saved as separate video files within the takeout file, your live photos become two separate files — a regular photo and a separate short video. Here is how MetaFixer fixes both these issues and streamlines the entire process: 1- It unzips the takeout file and reads any metadata included in the associated json files for each photo and video. 2- It checks if any photos also include an associated short video. These photos are recombined with their videos and saved as back live photos. 3- It saves the regular photos, live photos, and videos to your device, setting their updated dates and locations. It will save them in order by date, so that in addition to appearing in order in the Library section, they also appear in order within the Recents album. Free Plan The free plan is limited to saving up to 100 photos and videos from takeout files, suitable for testing the app and to save photos and videos from takeout files with less than 100 photos and videos. Premium Plan The premium plan saves an unlimited number of photos and videos from takeout files of any size.
