MetaImage For Mac

Every digital camera will append some kind of information to a photo, such as the device’s settings, image properties, date and time, and the location where it was captured. Additional information occasionally needs to be added, sometimes modified, and often removed entirely in the interests of one’s privacy.

MetaImage is an app designed to streamline the process of managing a whole photo album’s metadata. It displays the information in a visually intuitive manner, and it allows you to make quick modifications to numerous entries, for one or multiple images, while also supporting presets.

Often the information stored by your camera is incorrect and needs editing, but you may also want to include additional data, such as copyright information, descriptions, or tags. Alternatively, if you have scanned images that lack location info, you can add that as well.

Most commonly, users want a quick way to remove metadata that could compromise their privacy. If you took a photo in your own home and want to post it online, you might not want anyone who downloads it to know exactly where you live.

MetaImage allows you to import multiple photos at once and edit them individually or collectively. If there is information you wish to remove, you can select every available file and simply erase a certain value from all of them. You can add new info the same way.

To make things easier, you can filter all the available tags and specify which should be visible in the first place. You also have a helpful map view that shows you each image’s coordinates, along with a location finder for quickly adding GPS data.

Since this app is mainly aimed at users with lots of files to edit, you are encouraged to create presets for common actions and then just apply those to one or multiple images. You can, for instance, create a preset for removing location data and use it to process a whole album in just a few seconds.

If you need a more efficient way to add, edit, or remove metadata, MetaImage is a fantastic tool for the job. It’s easy to get the hang of, highly configurable, and capable of quick batch processing.
