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.

Printax prepares photos and prints them on instax mini printers, from your iPhone or iPad. Choose photos from your library, or touch and hold Add to pick them from Files. You can also share a photo from Photos or another app and print it right in the Share sheet. • See the printer, your photos, and Print on one screen. • Crop with Fill or Fit, then rotate, flip, zoom, and position each photo. • Keep the original look, let Ultra adjust exposure and highlights for print, or fine-tune light and color yourself. • Import a 3D .cube LUT from Files, set its intensity, and compare with the original. • Set copies for each photo and watch them stack up in the preview. • See how much film is left and which photos need more sheets. • Follow print progress right in the Print button. • Check the printer's battery, remaining film, and status. Works with instax mini Link, mini Link 2, and mini Link 3. You need one of these printers and instax mini film. Square and Wide printers are not supported. Printax keeps your queue and imported LUTs only while the app is running. If it cannot confirm that a print finished, it asks you to check the printer before you try again. Printax is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by FUJIFILM. Printax includes optional, one-time tips to support the developer. Tips do not unlock additional features, content, or services. All app features are available without tipping.
