Photo Exifer for iOS is a useful application that allows you to edit your photographs’ metadata from your local storage as well as iOS devices. There are many reasons why users would need to update the metadata for images and videos, and this application allows you to do that easily.
What is metadata?
In simple terms, metadata is information about other data. For example, a photograph might have metadata including date, time, location, camera settings, and in some cases, digital signatures or photographers' names.
Why do you need to change metadata?
There are several reasons for editing and changing metadata. The most common use is for privacy and security. Let's say you want to share your photographs with somebody, but you do not want them to dive in and find out where you were or what camera you used for the photos. Editing the metadata in such a case comes in handy, and Photo Exifer can do that for you.
Another major use is to add copyright details within the metadata to ensure that if the file is used anywhere, you can keep the rights to your intellectual property and files. Furthermore, correction of information such as the wrong time or date on the photo can also be done by using Exifer.
What metadata can Photo Exifer change for you?
Photo Exifer is an application that allows you to view, add, update, and delete metadata, including TIFF, GPS, and EXIF data from photos in your local storage or on your iOS devices. As told before, it also allows you to add your copyrights, authors, and more to the photographs.
Features of Photo Exifer for iOS
Exifer comes with a lot of useful features, including:
