Meta Scope Pro reveals full EXIF, TIFF, IPTC, GPS, JFIF, PNG, RAW, and Maker notes for photos from Photos or Files. Pick many at once, review clean summaries, and export all details as readable JSON for backup, audits, or workflows. 100% on-device. * Multiple selection from Photos and Files * Full metadata: EXIF, TIFF, IPTC, GPS, PNG, JFIF, RAW, Maker Apple * Per-item sheet + combined export to pretty-printed JSON * GPS map link and optional GPS redaction on export * Fast search by filename, type, or hash * Duplicate detection via SHA-256 hash * High-quality thumbnails in a compact grid * Unique filenames for Photos imports based on content hash * iPad single-column layout; iPhone optimized UI * No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Works offline. Why download * You need complete metadata, not the small subset shown by Photos. * You want batch inspection and one-file export for many images. * You care about privacy: redact GPS before sharing. * You organize large libraries and need duplicate detection with hashes. * You work with varied formats (HEIC, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, RAW). What’s unique vs. Photos “swipe-up” panel * Photos shows a minimal subset; MetaScope shows every ImageIO bucket (EXIF, IPTC, TIFF, GPS, JFIF, PNG, RAW, Maker Apple). * Photos is one photo at a time; MetaScope supports multi-select, gallery view, and bulk JSON export. * Photos has no SHA-256, no duplicate detection, no raw key/value browser, and no export of the metadata itself. * Photos cannot redact GPS on export; MetaScope can.
