About:
MetaImage is a specialized macOS utility for viewing and editing metadata embedded within image files. It allows users to manage EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data, including GPS coordinates for geotagging. The tool provides a straightforward interface for adding or modifying copyright, description, and other informational tags directly on the file.
Key Features:
  • View and edit EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata
  • Add, remove, or modify GPS geotags
  • Batch processing capabilities for multiple images
  • Support for various image formats including RAW
Use Cases:
  • Organizing and tagging large photo collections with custom metadata
  • Adding copyright and contact information to images before distribution
  • Correcting or removing sensitive GPS data for privacy before publishing
Alternatives:
  • ExifTool – ExifTool is a powerful command-line utility, whereas MetaImage offers a native, user-friendly GUI for macOS.
  • Adobe Bridge – Bridge is part of the Adobe ecosystem and offers extensive metadata features, but MetaImage is a lightweight, standalone application.
