Frequently asked questions

You may want to correct an incorrect date or location, organise scanned photos, add missing camera information, make images easier to find, protect your copyright or remove private information before sharing.

Do I need to be a professional photographer to use Metadata Editor?

No. Metadata Editor is designed for anyone who wants more control over their photos, from people organising a personal library to professional photographers preparing images for clients and agencies.

We offer different kinds of subscriptions to make sure you pay just for what you need.

Is Metadata Editor an alternative to Photo Mechanic for iPhone or iPad?

Metadata Editor can replace the metadata-editing part of a desktop workflow when you need to work on the go. It provides IPTC and EXIF editing, templates, batch editing and RAW metadata support, but does not attempt to replace Photo Mechanic’s complete desktop workflow.

Is Metadata Editor free?

Metadata Editor is free to download and try, as we offer a free trial for a few days so you can check the features. After the trial, we offer different subscriptions adapted to your needs, whether you are an amateur photographer wanting to keep your photo library organised, someone concerned about privacy who wants to remove metadata before sending a picture, or a professional photographer who needs to edit EXIF and IPTC quickly and easily from an iPhone or iPad.
