A metadata desk for your photos, videos, and Live Photos. Read what a file reveals, remove or add EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, and Photos fields, then get a receipt proving the write landed. On iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Nothing leaves the device.

Most tools report success the moment they intend to write. exif.camera parses the file a second time, checks the Photos library, and lists what is gone, what was written, and what you chose to keep. Green comes from the second read or not at all.
Reveal answers the eight-second question. The Workbench changes things in four rooms. The Lab shows every tag the file carries. Recipes turn a job into one button. Same engine on every device.
What this file gives away, in one card: privacy chips, shot ticket, when and where, media kind. Faces and readable text found on device count too, so the number is honest. Three actions: Clean for share, Fix or add, See everything.
Privacy, When & where, Credit, Capture. Empty rights fields stay visible as prompts. Locked rows say why. Field search understands synonyms: "shutter" finds ExposureTime, "©" finds Copyright. Paste coordinates, a DMS string, or a Maps link onto the map.
Every tag present, grouped EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, QuickTime, Apple, File. Original | Written columns after a save. Pin the rows you check often, hide the ones you never do. Copy as JSON. On the Mac it is a sortable table.
Your Photos library as Photos shows it: years, albums, Recents. Chips find the holes across thousands of items. Files, iCloud Drive, SMB shares, and external disks open the same way.
Select a card, a chip result, or a folder. One confirm names the plan and the count. Items that could not be verified go to a Needs review pile, never into a green total.
Stamp a copyright that Lightroom, Google Images, and Photos all read. Shift a whole trip five hours with offsets intact. Give a scanned negative the camera, lens, and date the scanner never knew. Caption, keywords, and rating land in Photos through the official iOS 27 API.
Inspect or clean from any app's share sheet. Four App Shortcuts, eight Shortcuts actions, a Control Center button, a last-photo widget, Finder Quick Actions on the Mac. Every one confirms before it writes.
Frame a photo with its shot ticket in a clean mat. Add an optional credit stamp on export. Share a Reveal card that names categories and never a coordinate. Off by default, your photo, always a new file.
Type a caption once. It lands in IPTC, in XMP, and in the Photos library, so agencies, Lightroom, Finder, and Photos agree. When the library and the file disagree, the receipt says so in orange and shows both values.
A recipe mixes removes, writes, and keeps. Star one as your default and it becomes the button on Reveal, the share extension, the Siri phrase, and the batch. Eight starters are built in. Every one still confirms and verifies.
Same engine, same catalog, same receipt. A shoot cleaned on the Mac matches what Siri sees on the phone. None of them is a stretched version of another.
Reveal in eight seconds, one-handed. Clean before the group chat from the share sheet. Ask Siri about the photo you are looking at.
Three columns at regular width: library, hero with Reveal, and the Workbench as an inspector. Library and File receipts sit side by side.
Where ExifTool and Photo Mechanic live today. A real menu bar, keyboard commands, Finder drag and drop, and a Lab that is a sortable table. Clean a shoot of hundreds with a progress window and a receipt per file.
Download on the Mac App StoreThe core app has no network entitlement, so it cannot upload, phone home, or serve ads. Turning a coordinate into a place name happens only when you tap it. The App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected because there is nothing to collect.
A failed verify is orange and names the surviving tags. A locked field says why. A missing tag is struck, never invented. Locked is never dressed up as success.
Every spoken request opens a confirm snippet before a byte changes and a receipt snippet after the re-read. Siri never says done without checking, and never reads a coordinate out loud. Shortcuts get the same verbs.
The category is crowded at "strip GPS" and nearly empty at everything after it.
One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The paywall appears after your first insight, not at launch. No weekly plan, no fake anchor price, no ads.

Effective October 2, 2026
exif.camera is built by Julio Medina. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your data.
exif.camera does not collect any information. The app has no network entitlement, no analytics, and no advertising. The App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected, because there is nothing to collect.
All photo and video processing happens on your device. When you inspect, clean, or edit a file, exif.camera reads and writes that file locally. Nothing is uploaded to a server, including ours.
exif.camera only reads GPS coordinates already present in your files, or coordinates you enter yourself. If you tap a coordinate to see a place name, your device sends that coordinate to Apple's Maps service to translate it into a name. That request is handled under Apple's own privacy policy. We do not operate, see, or store it.
exif.camera has no account system. If you turn on iCloud sync for recipes and templates, that data syncs through your personal iCloud account under Apple's terms. We do not have access to it.
exif.camera does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs of any kind.
Because we do not collect data, we have none to share, sell, or disclose.
Any data the app handles, including your photos and their metadata, stays on your device and in your own iCloud account, under your control.
exif.camera is not directed at children under 13. Because the app collects no data, no data is knowingly collected from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated effective date.
