What you get

You get consistent photo metadata without editing every image individually.

MetaImage lets you correct and standardize the information stored in your photos, rather than change how the pictures look. You can work with more than 5,000 tags, including EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and MakerNotes, across over 90 image formats. That means you can handle JPEG, HEIC, RAW, and other files without converting them first.

When the same corrections apply to many pictures, you can make them in batches and save presets for recurring edits. You can also give photos location data by searching for a place, selecting a point on a map, or copying location information from another file. GPS-tag searches help you find images by location afterward.

If you use Apple Photos, you can inspect metadata through the Photos extension, then open an image in MetaImage to make changes. You can choose which tags appear in each interface, keeping the information you actually use in view.

  • Repeat fewer manual edits

    You can apply the same metadata changes to multiple images and reuse presets for recurring corrections.

  • Give photos a location

    You can add GPS coordinates using a place search, a map, or location data copied from another file.

  • Avoid format conversion

    You can edit metadata across more than 90 image formats, including HEIC, JPEG, RAW, and TIFF.

  • Inspect tags in Photos

    You can read metadata through the Photos extension and choose which tags stay visible.

Best for

  • You maintain a photo library with inconsistent or incomplete metadata
  • You repeatedly apply the same tag changes to photo batches
  • You need to add or correct photo locations

Skip it if

You don't need it if you only want to crop, retouch, or adjust the appearance of your photos.
