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.

[From the Developer] As a news agency photographer, I built this app for my own daily work — to send images to the desk instantly from iPhone or iPad, and help photographers 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. With a BUILT-IN FTP SERVER, your camera sends photos straight into the app — no separate receiver app and no computer needed. Add IPTC captions and credits with reusable templates, then transmit to your desk over FTP, all on your iPhone or iPad. RECEIVE WIRELESSLY - 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. - Quick-connect to your camera's Wi-Fi from within the app, and save multiple named profiles to switch channels at busy venues with one tap. (Auto-connect is verified on Canon; other cameras with an access-point mode should work too.) - Free camera connection settings and step-by-step guides on our support site. VOICE TAGS (AUDIO MEMOS) - Voice annotations recorded on the camera are received paired with their photos. - Play them back on the photo editing screen, in both the Photos and Sent tabs. - On sending, a voice tag stays linked to its photo and is delivered as a pair, so your spoken notes travel with the image. IPTC METADATA & TEMPLATES - 20 IPTC fields; choose which are shown and in what order. - Save reusable templates and apply them to all, selected, or individual photos. - Gap-free sequence numbering: {Seq} / {Jseq} are assigned at the MOMENT OF SENDING, in capture-time order, and only to photos you actually transmit — so the last number is your exact sent count. Once assigned, a number stays locked even if you edit and resend. {Edate} / {Jdate} add dates automatically. - Date/Time Created 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 personal codes in the app. - Type a short code and it expands to the full text on apply. - Sample codes are included. FAST EDITING & REVIEW - 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 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 the metadata-embedded photo 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 with increasing waits), showing transfer progress and retry status. - Export / import templates to share with colleagues. - Fully bilingual: English and Japanese.
