Discover the story behind every photo with Exif Pro — a powerful, private way to view, organize, edit, and understand photo metadata directly on your device. Exif Pro gives you detailed access to EXIF, TIFF, GPS, IPTC, camera, lens, date, file, and other metadata, with a modern interface designed to make even detailed photo information easy to explore. DETAILED PHOTO METADATA Explore the information stored inside your photos, including camera and lens details, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, dimensions, exact capture date and time, GPS information, and much more. Browse metadata quickly and keep the information you use most close at hand. On iPad, Exif Pro takes advantage of the larger display with dedicated multi-column layouts for browsing photos, viewing maps, and inspecting detailed metadata side by side. PIN THE DETAILS THAT MATTER Pin important metadata directly to Photo Details for faster access. Pinned information automatically adapts to the available space, using full-width or compact layouts where appropriate, so important details remain easy to read. Unpin or reorganize information whenever your needs change. POWERFUL LOCATION TOOLS View a photo's location directly on the map and update or remove its GPS information when needed. Exif Pro also lets you add multiple additional location pins to a single photo. Give each pin a custom name, rename or remove it later, view every saved location together, copy coordinates, and quickly get directions to a selected place. Updated map tools make managing and understanding photo locations even easier. AI & PROVENANCE INSIGHTS Explore available provenance and AI-related metadata embedded in supported images. Exif Pro can surface information such as the recorded creator tool, device, credential issuer, editing action, and other available provenance signals. It can also examine visible disclosures such as “AI-generated” or “Edited with AI” labels. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence can help review the available evidence and clearly explain the signals and limitations behind the result. Results are evidence-based and depend on the information available in each image. SMART PHOTO ORGANIZATION Browse your library through useful collections including recent photos, camera models, lens models, star ratings, and other available categories. Favorite and rate photos directly from Photo Details, then use those details to organize and find important images faster. MAKE EXIF PRO YOURS Choose exactly which metadata fields appear throughout Photo Details using Metadata Visibility. You can also individually enable or disable Smart Albums and advanced features, giving you control over how much information and functionality appears throughout the app. EDIT PHOTO METADATA Update supported metadata and location information directly from Exif Pro. Correct inaccurate details or remove information you don't want to keep. Rename supported photos and media while preserving the original image resources and metadata whenever possible. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photo inspection and metadata analysis happen on your device. Exif Pro is designed to give you powerful access to your photo library without turning your personal collection into an online service. Whether you're a photographer, creator, metadata enthusiast, or simply curious about the information behind your photos, Exif Pro gives you the tools to inspect every detail and understand your library more clearly.
