Exif Metadata Editor & IPTC Reviews

Useless without paid subscription. Needs to be clear and upfront on fees prior to download

Doesn’t work on videos

App is free but you have to pay to actually do anything.

You have to “”“unlock””” the ability to remove the metadata.

Metadata for time and date keeps changing.

Warning. ExifMetadataEditorIPTC doesn't work if you don't pay for it first. Yes, there is a 3 day free trial, but you have to s set everything up for a paid account. Basically, it's $60 to buy, although there are subscription options.

My issue is they imply you can do some things without sharing your data and credit card with them, so you can decide on your own if this is something you want to use, but the fact is you can't do anything. When you try, a window, asking you to purchase, pops up.

I deleted it and heading to their competitor.

Will not remove all metadata as described when batch editing. Also should be able to select an entire album instead of having to select every photo in the album one by one. Also should be able to drag to select if choosing each photo one by one.

This is not a free app within app purchases. While it does give you very limited three day trial., You first have to pay to get access.

Personally, I don’t think I would use it often enough to warrant paying 10 bucks a year.

In order to save the metadata it has to create a copy of the image. This is bad as saturation seemed to have increased in some, and the file size of the images also changed. As a journalist this is a huge issue for me. If you don’t care about this, it’s an easy app to use.

however in ExifMetadataEditorIPTC it says 24 hours. Is this a ploy to boost downloads numbers and ratings?! certainly seem so.
I wrote in your feedback section in Spanish.

App seems ok

by Jasantigold

If you actually need the time stamp removed, ExifMetadataEditorIPTC doesn’t do that. Even though when you go to the settings and change it in the advanced settings, it still keeps the time stamp.

Just tried out ExifMetadataEditorIPTC. It’s fine for casual use, but not for more professional or prosumer use. Pros shoot in RAW, and transfer the RAW photo to computer for editing and output.

When you edit the metadata, the file copy becomes a jpg, regardless of whether ExifMetadataEditorIPTC settings are either to save the original (overwrite) or to save as a copy.

I was hoping that I could add metadata on-site during a shoot directly to the RAW photo and still be able to upload the RAW photo later on with metadata, but ExifMetadataEditorIPTC won’t do that. So I took two stars off, since ExifMetadataEditorIPTC description lists features for professionals.

For casual/consumer use I would give it 5 stars, it does what it says on the tin.

The application doesn’t meet requirements

by Pop-ups

Seems to work well, the feature that would make this a must-have for me is if it had Siri Shortcuts integration to programmatically edit the fields. Crossing my fingers and keeping an eye on future updates.

Thanks for this beautiful application. A handy tool to protect your data/asset.

Having many family photos spanning 50 years, ExifMetadataEditorIPTC is a helpful tool which lets me provide the correct date and location for each one.
and it’s free too! Nice work - 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒔

I’m updating my original review where I had commended ExifMetadataEditorIPTC’s ability to quickly, easily, and successfully batch-edit specific metadata fields of many hundreds of photos on my phone (*), but had also complained about the unexpectedly high ‘disk’ space rapidly consumed by ExifMetadataEditorIPTC (as per Settings / General / iPhone Storage) during use (without any explanation for why this space was being consumed or method to view its contents, clear them, or cause iOS to release that space).

At about the same time of writing my review, I also reached out directly to the developer (via email) — and the developer quickly responded after spending a few hours of investigating my reported issue. The developer explained that when ExifMetadataEditorIPTC edits a photo, iOS creates a hidden folder where temporary copies of each one are stored — and since I’d edited over 1000 (and maybe half as many more while first figuring out ExifMetadataEditorIPTC and what I specifically needed it to do) that cache had grown rather large — to nearly 5gb.

The developer went on to explain that normally iOS would in time, on its own, clear that cache (presumably whenever a lack of existing free space would otherwise effect other apps or iOS’s normal functioning; or after a given amount of time if the former didn’t happen first).

But the developer also agreed with me the this process could both be explained and handled better; and committed to updating their app to do both — and in less than a week since I first reported my issue, they have accomplished this — even when counting the inevitable delay between when a developer submits an update and when Apple pushes that update to the public.

ExifMetadataEditorIPTC now both explains that it may consume a significant amount of disk space during heavy use, and offers the user the ability to manually clear that cache at any time.

Quite extraordinary.

Many thanks to the developer for not only responding, but taking positive action — and I wish them the best of success with ExifMetadataEditorIPTC and all other endeavors they choose to pursue.

(*) I required ExifMetadataEditorIPTC because of a peculiar issue I was having keeping photos organized in the order I arranged them on my iPhone and iPad; which I frustratingly could not find any solution for within Apple’s software alone.

First: Apple allows users to add selected photos from your overall library to specific folders (“albums”) their users may create, and allows users to drag and drop those photos manually within the albums to display their photos in the exact order they prefer.

Second: Apple DOESN’T respect their users ‘custom order’ arrangement when they copy those photos (or a subset of those photos) to a new album.

Apple instead reorganizes those photos either oldest-first or newest-first based on the images metadata date tags (which might be the date the photo was taken or simply a date the photo was copied, reproduced, or recently accessed — it is a data field that is truly not helpful at all in a great many cases).

Third: I figured out that if I air-dropped my organized photos (selected from the album in which I’d organized them) from my iPhone to my iPad, the iPad would organize them in its “recents” folder by the date and time they were air-dropped — NOT by the date and time included in the photos’ metadata.

This gets them onto the iPad in order — but only in the recents folder. Copying the newly air-dropped files to their own album once again causes them to be disorganized from their custom sequence and reshuffled based on date & time of the metadata tag. Grrr!!

Fourth: Apple allows users to change the date and time of specific photos. But to change the date and time of multiple photos; Apple only permits displacing / shifting the date and time from what each tag says by whatever arbitrary duration the user requests. This does NOT solve the problem; as each photo will still sort chronologically, often based on bad data; and I DO NOT WANT MY CUSTOM ORGANIZED PHOTOS SORTED CHRONOLOGICALLY.

Fifth: It finally became clear the only solution was to delete the date and time from the photos’ metadata tags; to prevent Apple using them to rearrange my photos. But this is impossible; because Apple will always assign a date and time if missing. So here we come to Metadata Editor.

Sixth: with Metadata Editor I was able to set every manually organized photo to the exact same date and time: 12:00am, Jan 1, 1900.

Now copying the files from “Recents” to a new folder kept my photos in order — except backwards, because recents can only be arranged with new photos at the bottom. So I actually needed to airdrop the backwards organized albums back to my iPhone; and then create albums from the backwards recents that put the photos back in normal order again.

Tedious!!

But impossible without Metadata Editor — so I’m grateful ExifMetadataEditorIPTC existed, and allowed me to test out its full functionality for the duration of its trial — and didn’t limit me to only updating a dozen photos or whatever that order paid apps will often do during trials.

Everyone needs this! There are people out there that can find you based off metadata and you never know. Especially if you share pics of your children on your social.

Now I can save the privacy of all of my personal information of pictures before I share.

For my specific purpose, it does exactly what it needed to do. My camera has two extra bytes of data on the end of the camera string that make its raw files incompatible with everything (Canon R5 C), but removing those two extra bytes reestablishes compatibility (Canon R5) because other than those two extra bytes, the raw files are exactly the same between those two cameras.

Now, I'm not sure this specific use case is worth the price of admission, but I admit I have a skewed perspective. I have a fairly extensive background with computers and access to a machine that I can do this on for free in a hex editor; obviously not all photogs have this same background I have and they just want to get the dang raws off this specific camera to work on the iPad since it's more portable than, for example, a MacBook or a Windows ultrabook laptop and you can edit raws surprisingly completely in either the built in photos app or even the mobile version of Lightroom (provided they're compatible, see above).

For the short time of use, it fills all of what I need.

First off I got lucky and got this product that normally cost $50 fo free on a special sale for another app it is featured on! (Thank you so much 🥳) ExifMetadataEditorIPTC is very well put together and easy to use and read. Super easy to catch on and navigate your next move! Does everything it says PLUS some helpful suprises along the way!

Please Add “deeply fused” information !

Your app is good jop!
But only one thing needed.
“Deeply fused” information missing.
Apple’s Deep Fusion camera function is extraordinarily.
“Metaphor” app contains Apple “Deep fusion “ information.
Please add Deep Fusion information!
Thank you so much.
