EXIF Metadata Editor & Viewer

Features
Read full description

Inspect, edit and clean photo metadata on your iPhone. EXIF Metadata helps you read every EXIF, IPTC, XMP, TIFF, JFIF and GPS field stored inside your photos, edit the writable ones, and strip metadata from photos you want to share privately. Open any photo from your library and instantly see the camera, lens, exposure, location, copyright, keywords and creator information embedded in the file. Edit titles, descriptions, captions, keywords, copyright notice, credit line, web statement and structured location with a professional IPTC and XMP editor that writes both legacy IIM and modern XMP namespaces, so your changes show up in Lightroom, Bridge, Capture One and Photos. Add, change or remove the GPS location from the map. Mark a photo as AI-generated or remove AI-generation signals. Export full metadata reports as JSON or CSV, or share the photo without any metadata at all. Use it to clean location data before sharing a photo, add author and copyright credit to your work, verify camera and lens information on a shot, tag photos with keywords, review what is hidden inside a downloaded image, or strip all metadata in one tap. Paid access: the professional IPTC and XMP editor, metadata editing, structured location editing, JSON and CSV export, image sharing, location map picker, AI-generation marking and one-tap metadata cleaning may require an active EXIF Metadata Pro subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled and can be managed in your Apple ID account settings.

About

Ditto

Features
Read full description

Many photo editing and filter apps save your edited photo with a brand-new timestamp and strip away the rest of its metadata, including location. The result: the edit lands in a completely different spot in your photo library than the original — nowhere near where it belongs. Ditto fixes that. It copies the metadata — capture date, location, and more — from the original photo onto the edited one, so your edits sit right back alongside the originals. Working directly in your Apple Photos library, Ditto keeps it quick: • Copy metadata from one photo to another in just a few taps • Or simply drag the original photo onto the edited one to copy it across • Made several edits? Lock in the original's metadata and paste it onto each one • Reverse the direction anytime to copy the other way Customize the photo grid up to 20 columns on Mac and iPad to find the shots you need fast. Available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
