The problem

Your images carry more data than you think.

Every photo stores metadata — camera settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, device serial numbers, software versions, and more. Most of it is invisible unless you know where to look.

📍

Hidden location data

GPS coordinates embedded in every photo can reveal your home, workplace, and daily routines to anyone who knows where to look.

🔧

Limited built-in tools

Windows shows a fraction of metadata in a clunky properties dialog. It can't edit most tags, and completely ignores ICC and XMP data.

⚠️

Outdated alternatives

Most metadata tools are command-line utilities, abandoned freeware, or buried features inside massive professional suites.

Capabilities

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

👁️

View metadata

✏️

Edit metadata

Double-click any editable field to change it. Modify titles, copyright, dates, camera info, keywords, and more. Changes highlight before saving.

🗑️

Remove metadata
